Me and my father went through a war period where we wasn't talking. He wanted me to go to theology school-I didn't want to go. I wanted to do music. I told him I was a minister through music.

When I think about the biggest studios in New York, they're owned by people that are not musicians or artists, and artists come in and spend their money there, and they'd rather do that, as opposed to getting the headache. So they pay someone else to get the headache.

I lived in the projects and the ghetto, and turned the negative into a positive.

At the end of the day, just know that God made you, so you can be your own individual, and don't let people give you that peer pressure.

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

Definitely when I got on the plane to go back to Haiti, it was an emotional thing for me. It definitely touched my heart when I landed. I cried.
