I Am A Forward-looking Person And Live

I Don't Think Any Musician Ever Thinks About Making A Statement. I Think Everybody Goes Into Music Loving It.

I've Got To Where I Am In Life Not Because Of Something I Brought To The World But Through Something I Found - The Wealth Of African Culture.

I Grew Up With Protests, Marches, Demonstrations, Struggle. But I Come From A Clan Of Community Workers.

I Had To Run Away From Home In Order To Be A Musician. Because I Came From A Family Of... My Father Was A Health Inspector; My Mother Was A Social Worker. And I Was Pretty Smart In School. So They Expected Me To Be Some Kind Of Academic - Schoolteacher, Or Doctor, Lawyer - And They Were Very Disappointed When I Told Them I Wanted To Be A Musician.

To Tell You The Truth, Man, We Spend Most Of The Time Travelling In Hotels, In Festivals, In Concert Halls, Clubs, Airports. The Most Unenjoyable Part Is All The Security At Airports.
