To me, this degree was an acknowledgment of my work in music.

Getting a degree, being on Sesame Street... those were like real accomplishments to me.

Basically what we did -- I wrote poetry, he took it home and came back the next day with music to it, ... It was that simple. It took us three weeks' time to do the whole CD.

I like to work spontaneously.

I'd like to work on putting art programs back in schools.

Being a singer is a way for me to get to a platform to do more.
