Twitter freaks me out. You have followers? It feels so obsessive and proprietary.

You want to know how to rhyme, then learn how to add. It's mathematics.

I learned [playing Chuck Berry] that there's something to be said for the courage of conviction, that sense of belief, being bold enough to believe in your vision. And there's a quote that really fits his particular energy. It says - they say don't go where the path may lead, but go where there's no path and leave a trail. I think that's exactly what Chuck did, you know. It's an inspiration to a lot of folks, not just musicians, but people everywhere.

Restlessness is my nemesis. It's hard to just chill and sit still.

African art is functional, it serves a purpose. It's not a dormant. It's not a means to collect the largest cheering section. It should be healing, a source a joy. Spreading positive vibrations.

To me, playing an instrument and singing, all of these different things are just as natural to me as rhyming.

I'm trying to get low. People's personalities can get in the way of their own work.
