I think we're heading into the Creative Age. We've passed through the Agricultural and then the Industrial and then the Information Age.

My parents always saw me as an artist, and that greatly influenced me

I've come up against a few challenges. I've just taken them on with a really pure energy. I'm not out to change people's minds. I'm out to maybe educate and inspire.

I want to embrace all of this: touring, going to Europe, Canada, Australia. I want to travel the world, just have a great hang, and hopefully, be a messenger.

A long term goal is to encourage students to start doing concerts in which I or the other artists will come back at the end of the school year to see their concerts.

Twenty years from now, I hope I'm consistently in my life, in the zone. I have seen the next year before.

I have so many plans! Sometimes it's hard to keep up because at this point it's just been me and the little bit of help my label gives me.
