I want to promote positivity.

Be as radiant as the sun, as healing as the rain, as generous as a tree.

There are so many things to be worried about, and I wanted to make a record that people could put on, and it would lift them up the way the sun did for me each day.

When many little people in many little places do many little things, then the whole world changes.

Life is too short to make just one decision, Music's too loud for just one station, Love is too big for just one nation, AND GOD IS TOO BIG FOR JUST ONE RELIGION...

I've always wanted to be a communicator of ideas through music. Today, I wanna be the most effective musical communicator of social change I could be, so I try to find different ways to do it and I'm always challenging myself to find new things, learn new instruments. But I always try to find in my heart, what it is I really want to say with words.

I was adopted when I was a baby. My mother carried me for nine months and she held me for one hour, and didn't see me again.
