I was very fortunate to have learned the transforming power of music early in life. As an adult I want to share that power by inspiring people to care about their neighbors near and far. Being a UNICEF Ambassador allows me this kind of opportunity.

The thing that makes me feel most alive is knowing that there's something that I have to do that I'm afraid of.

A person's either responsible for themselves or we're all responsible for each other.

There's hope. It doesn't cost a thing to smile. You don't have to pay to laugh. You better thank God for that.

Strength, courage & wisdom...it's been inside of me all along.

If he ever left me, I wouldn't even be sad; no, 'cause there's a blessing in every lesson, and I'm glad that I knew him at all.

God is infinitely creative, and everyone's different, and everyone has a different path, a different lesson, a different song, a different face, a different voice.
