I never sang for a Grammy, for money, for fame. That's my whole purpose for singing: for people, for the fans.

I'm just singing what I feel in my heart.

I'm so blessed that I can still be here to bring the music and have new generations of fans. My Pops would be so proud.

There's still injustice happening in my world. I sing my songs at concerts and I'm so grateful that the people are ready to hear them.

Music is such a joy, just an absolute joy.

If I wasn't my age, I would turn a flip. I would do some cartwheels. That's how I feel.

I started writing letters home to my mother, saying that I wanted to come home, grandma won't let me sing.
