Hearing is a form of touch. You feel it through your body, and sometimes it almost hits your face.

The thing about playing percussion is that you can create all these emotions that can be sometimes beautiful, sometimes really ugly, or sometimes sweet, sometimes as big as King Kong and so on. And so there can be a real riot out there, or it can be so refined.

I didn't decide to become a musician until the age of 15, which is quite late.

Music really is our daily medicine.

Hearing is a form of touch. I could hear less through the ears but more through the body.

There are many collaborations I'd like to explore. One is to co-write a rap concerto with Eminem.

Before my teen years, I was losing my hearing pretty quickly, and I was getting very, very angry. I was beginning to become an angry person because of that.
