My daddy was a minister, my grandfather was a voodoo priest, my uncle was a mason; I was raised with a lot of studies.

I always want to know what's wrong with you, why you ain't smiling. That's just my character; I just love people and want to see people having a good time.

Ever since I was a little kid, there used to be the Carnival that used to pass.

I was a jazz major in high school, in an all-jazz band. No matter what I do, it features my musical influences.

My parents were Christian.

You might see a female, and she triggers something, or you see an old lady walking down the street, she triggers something. You go to Africa, you see the vibes, that triggers something.

I'm like Cab Calloway: I love the entertainment, and I've loved entertaining people ever since I was little.
