I thought it would be funny to take a photo in the White House bathroom, I take pictures everywhere I go, but I don't think I can top that one.

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.

There are more black men incarcerated today than there were slaves in 1850.

I feel like my job is to make impact, spread love, tell great stories, inspire people, that's what I am going to do.

Music business is hard. It's very difficult. And it's not for everyone. Even if you can sing or even if you can write a song, it takes a lot of determination, it takes some kind of thick skin.

The best training is to play by ear: trial by fire.

My mother, I want her to like my music, but she's not exactly my target audience. So I care more about the fans in general, just making sure they enjoy what I do.
