Barry White is my musical hero. He was the guy who you danced to in the club and then when you took your lady home to the bedroom, you listened to him there, too! That's who I always wanted to be - the guy who was always there.

I just want to make music as long as I can and reach as many people as I can.

Drums, bass, guitar, keys, I play a little of each of those.

I consider myself to have a decent sense of humor. What's life without a sense of humor?

My intentions with any of my music is to keep it futuristic and updated and be experimental and try new things.

A big part of the Motown formula was, they took music and turned it into this sort of automotive assembly line. They were cranking out 10 songs a day in that studio, or more.

I make soul music for hip-hop heads. It's music I'd want to sample if I were a rapper.
