I would love to go to smaller places in the UK such as Manchester and Liverpool and play there. It's much more intimate; you got to get down and gritty, getting closer to the people.

Back in the day people made music to go on tour. They didn't make music to make a video.

The way to stay inspired and motivated is by doing what you like, doing what you love.

I've always loved people that's been around for a long time, like old shoes.

I liked the name Saadiq and didn't want to be known as an artist as Raphael Wiggins.

My UK fans are quite similar to the States but they pay much more attention to the details, that I like. They listen, party, and dance moving through the changing moods of the music with me.
