Even from when I was in grade school or church or wherever, I was always like: we're one, and we should respect each other and grow as one. And respect each other's diversity, of course.

My challenges have not been around music. My hardest thing in music was just sitting down and teaching myself how to play and believing in myself.

I love to read things that have moral messages, and I love to hear stories where it's not just a hook, you have to follow the story, you have to listen to the message of the song, and get it and use it in your everyday life.

I try to write down every song that comes to me, even though I know that every song that comes to me isnt a song that I need to sing.

Amalgamation is a good word that I like to use - musically and in every way.

Im constantly being inspired by the old days and taking things from the past and allowing them to lift me up where I am now.
