It's an artist's duty to reflect the times in which we live.

Witnessing the extreme poverty in remote parts of Affrica can make you feel sad and powerless until you realize how little it takes to change these people's lives fundamentally in sustainable ways.

People tell me all the time that my songs help them express things to loved ones that they may not be able to say themselves.

We all must follow a different path to let our light shine, and that's what makes us so unpredictable and unique.

For me I'm actually doing what I normally do when I do my solo thing and the other thing is actually more new to me.

I feel like spirituality definitely comes through in my music, but I don't make any specific efforts to make it that way.

If I collaborate with people, ideas...they take interesting turns and twists, and I'm excited for that and that process and excited to see what we come up with.
