I truly believe that my songs bring the answers and the solutions, as opposed to just talking about the problems. My music at its core is joyful.

The art of being wise is the art of knowing that solutions don’t come from individuals, but rather experiences.

As humans, we have the tendency to call on God only when we think that we're in dire straits as opposed to cultivating a real relationship with Him every day. And that's what my music tries to convey to all the listeners - try to cultivate it every day.

There is a sound that comes from gospel music that doesn't come from anything else. It is a sound of peace. It is a sound of, 'I'm going to make it through all of this.'

My direction has never really changed, because I don't think that you can really work gimmicks in gospel music. With gospel music, there is this central theme that always comes around about the love of God, the love of Jesus and the power that you have through Jesus Christ. You don't need a gimmick when you have that.

People love gospel music. It's calming. It's soothing. It gets right to the point of whatever you're dealing with.
