As A Nation - And As A

I Listen To All Those Kinds Of Music, From Classic Soul To Hip-hop To Brazilian Music To, You Know, Jazz To Indie To Alternative. So Whatever. I Listen To All If It. Classic Rock And Classic Pop, All Of That.

It's Really About Making The Best Music You Can Make. It's Really About Working Hard.

I Always Saw Myself As A Singer-songwriter, A Solo-artist, That's Why Working With Other Artists Was Never Satisfying For Me.

It's Important For Us To Fight For Certain Changes That Need To Happen. And One Of Those Issues That I Really Care About Is Education. But Also Another One Is Incarceration.

I Think It's Hard To Really Write A Song That Will Educate Someone Because Songs Are Meant To Be ... You Don't Want To Be Too Didactic In A Song Because It Doesn't Make For Good Music. And I Think The Role Of Songs Can Be To Inspire People But There Needs To Education And Prose To Back That Up.
