Power to the peaceful!

I think right now is when we need to hear different voices coming out of all parts of the world. You can't just hear the politicians and the military leaders. You have to hear from the taxi drivers. You have to hear from the painters. You have to hear from the poets. You have to hear from the school teachers and the filmmakers and musicians.

It doesnt matter if youre black, white, gay, straight, come from different countries, different language... every single person is significant and is meaningful.

Every single soul is a poem, written on the back of God's hand

The hardest part about what I do, the most vulnerable place is my relationship with my family and Sara, my amazing partner, because I'm leaving a lot. And as a touring artist, I'm constantly coming and going, but also when I'm at home, my studio's at home. I'm leaving to go into a music world in my head.

I believe that through positive thoughts, speech, action and attitudes, we change things for the better.

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.
