When I talk about music in Memphis, it's a place you can go if you are a beginning artist or anywhere in your career, and you can incubate.

I'm not religious, but I am spiritual and I am creating my own practice.

Sometimes when you're in a more fast-paced place, with more to see and do, you miss out on things like nature and beautiful, God-made things. They call it "God's country"!

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.

If you're going to be stuck somewhere forever, you might as well be around good people!

I've always kind of been in the middle of every room, trying to get people together, no matter what color they were.

Memphis held onto me until I was far enough along in my art and then it let me go.
