A lot of my songs deal with spirituality and God, and I guess if you're in tune with that, you'll read into it.

Race in this country is still the elephant in the room that no one wants to discuss.

My mother's side of the family is from the Bahamas, and I spent time there on and off when I was growing up. It's the place where I feel at peace.

I do my best to try to keep God with me on a personal level. It's my belief that God really wants a personal relationship with us.

I made the record that my life had me make. Each one is like a diary.

Everything that I make I use.

I just live my life and try to be present. When I'm present in the moment and something comes, I can capture it, because it doesn't come from me, it's out there.
