Over the years, I was doing what I loved to do, which is my music. But it was always a bit distorted, because I was doing the music in the way other people around me were telling me it should be done.

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

Some people just don't like to be their self. I'm always looking, analyzing myself.

If I'm not doing anything to make a change, then I'm responsible.

I decided that instead of apologizing for having a lot to say, I wanted to create a format where people would come to hear me sing and speak.

I'm not just making rhymes and making melodies. I'm expressing my true life force, energy.

I'm still afraid of things, obviously - we're human. But I like that feeling of being afraid.
