As an artist, I feel that my father's biggest influence is me realizing that music has a purpose and it's not just for business and that music is spiritual. I get that from him that music is a spiritual thing.

I rented a house, recorded the stuff in a house. Just took my time 'cuz sometimes it's just rush, rush, rush. I just wanna live and play music.

Religion has become so many different things. Religion is an economic thing for some people. Religion is a gun.

It's hard to say a favorite song of my father's. I listen to all his stuff; a lot of the old stuff before the '70s.

There's a rainbow in the sky, all the time, don't be blind

The roots of my music start from the ghetto.

I go running. I go into nature. I really alleviate lot of emotional stress, any kind of stress I'm going through - exercise is my favorite medicine.
