A lot of people in the religious world believe that by secularizing, or viewing the changes as secular, such as dropping the beard and changing my appearance, they consider this to be a fall.

I am reclaiming myself. Trusting my goodness and my divine mission.

My music is not really about one ideology. It's not about one truth.

My life is not separate from my music, you know? It's not like a day job that I leave and go home. It's who I am as a person and how I am trying to grow, come closer to God, be a better person.

I can't choose the most meaningful song that I've written. That would be like choosing one child over another. But first borns are always special.

Most of my life wasn't about knowledge from books, but experiential knowledge.
