What I wear onstage is so stylized and bold.

I am happy that I can challenge myself in various fields.

My father loved music. He loved Motown and R&B, and my mother loved Journey and Fleetwood Mac, so they were always listening to it and playing it.

As a singer, if I'm in a room that is too cold, I kind of freak out, so I actually like the humidity, and I love the heat.

I'm grateful and enjoying the ride.

Soul music is true to its name. It's music that connects to your soul, your spirit. When music resonates with people's spirit like that, when people can emotionally connect with something or it helps to heal them, transform them, that never goes out of style. People will always need something to relate to.
