I just love music, and I absorbed what I love.

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.

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.

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.

I am always excited about playing in front of live audiences because I really enjoy it, for the most part.

The point is to raise your voice and be heard to God. You really are just celebrating being in the presence of other people that believe the same things you believe.

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