I Played Classical As A Kid.

I Feel Like Spirituality Definitely Comes Through In My Music, But I Don't Make Any Specific Efforts To Make It That Way.

I Do Believe That Part Of Us Ending Racism Is Us Seeing Each Other's Humanity And Learning To Love Each Other, Even If We Look Different Or Worship Differently Or Live Differently.
