I Played Classical As A Kid.

I Just Want It To Be Timeless And Timely At The Same Time.

You Believe In Equality For Women And Men. And That Means That, Not Only Do You Believe In It Kind Of In The Abstract But You Actively Think People Should Seek It When It Comes To The Way You Hire People, The Way You Compensate People, The Way You Treat Women And Men In Professional Settings And School, Whatever The Case, Giving Them Equal Opportunities Without Disadvantaging Them Because Of Their, For The Fact That They're Women. And To Me That's What It Means For Me To Be A Feminist. I Don't Think It's That Controversial.

Well, I Was Always A Bit Of A Political Junkie. Even As A Kid I Would Read Biographies Of Presidents And Of Civil Rights Leaders Like Martin Luther King And Frederick Douglass And Booker T. Washington.

The Issue I Focus On The Most Is Extreme Poverty. I Think It's Kind Of Out Of Sight Out Of Mind. I Wish There Would Be More Stories About That To Connect People To What's Happening. To Personalize It, To Make It Real To People, To Inspire Them To Action.

Every Artist Wants Some Sort Of Feedback, Because You Make This Music And You Hope People Love It And You Want To Hear If They Love It And What They Love About It, What Their Favorite Song Is, What They Think The Next Single Should Be. I Like To Hear Those Things.
