I love to travel to hear different kinds of music.

I was reared in the church from the age of three. I've played piano since I was three. I performed at revivals and for my people around North Carolina for several years. People around town collected money to send me to school.

Through music you can become sad, joyful, loving, you can learn. You can learn mathematics, touch, pacing... Oh my God! Ooh... Wow... You can see colors through music. Anything!

I'm a nut for Bach as a composer.

I had heard blues and jazz all my life but I was never aware that it was associated with nightclubs and drinking.

I look forward to doing my own show, not someone else's. That's always been my dream.

You don't have to live next to me / Just give me my equality.
