Art is the absence of fear.

It's weird, but if I decide to do an album, then the ideas start fitting themselves together. I consider myself a nice, slow burn. Plus, it's not a race. And I have a lot to share.

Now my record deal helps me to do things for free or give more time to my community than I could otherwise.

I mean thats a big part of our existence here on earth, the personal relationship we have with the person that we love, with the person that we make love to, with the person that we share our lives with. We expect a lot of things back from our loved one, and the lesson is to accept and not expect.

Man, I don't want to have nothing to do with computers. I don't want the government in my business.

Hopefully my music is medicine, some type of antidote for something or some kind of explanation or just to feel good.

My paternal grandmother gave me the courage to investigate things and not take things at face value or judge people by what I first imagine them to be.
