Hopefully my music is medicine, some type of antidote for something or some kind of explanation or just to feel good.

The kind of music or the kind of arrangements that I do, the kind of musicians I choose, is just what I like to hear.

I'm free. I just do what I want, say what I want, say how I feel, and I don't try to hurt nobody. I just try to make sure that I don't compromise my art in any kind of way, and I think people respect that.

What I work hard at doing is staying on a path of being kind and showing and proving that I'm a good person to society. That's hard. The talent, that's a gift. I just came here like that.

Good music makes you feel something.

I'm a complete human being. I'm very emotional and loving. I feel, I hurt, I give, I take, and also I think. I analyze. I'm a sociologist, anthropologist.
