Im living proof you can excel regardless of where you come from.

Everything I was feeling, all the hurt and the pain and the emotion I was going through, I put into my music.

My whole thing has always been as long as everybody else is going through it, I can go through it as well.

My goal was to bring good music back.

In terms of creating new music, I'm willing to even branch out and take a slight gamble, but I'm not going all the way far left. I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel.

Just to be able to release an album back in the day when I came out was very gratifying. Most people were not given the opportunity.

Frustration is not the way to go.
