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.

The story that I wanna tell is pretty much about the way I grew up. Being bi-racial, growing up in a big city and being an artist.

I always try to keep the circumstances in my life fresh. I like to change the physical environment I live in, change the people around me and try to experience things for the first time. I think that keeps one on their toes, creatively and spiritually.

A lot of people don't listen to the lyrics, really.

Oasis are not just influenced by the Beatles; they actually take stuff. Then they get praised.

I just live my life and try to be present.

I have a great time with my band and on the stage we get along well.
