I decided to start my own label because so many people with talent come to me wanting to know how they can get in the music business.

I'm on my way to a place where I'd never dreamed I'd be, and that's perfection.

Everything is scary if you look at it. So you just got to live.

I mean, I know my heart is not clean, and your heart is not clean, and none of our urban hearts are clean. But you can be washed again.

God comes first - if I don't love him, I can't love anybody, and if I can't love me I can't love nobody.

If you're here right now in your life, your journey continues and you've lived to tell the story.

You have to have a plan. Everything has to be planned. For me, I start with the title of my album, before I even start with the songs. I write down different things that I want album to say, and then the songs come from the different words.
