I Really Didn't Know A Lot Of

When You See A Close Person You Know Pass In Front Of Your Eyes, It's Hard Core. After All That, I Just Wanted To Enjoy Every Day. That Was My Goal. And To Give Thanks And To Live Fully.

I Think Kids In Europe Have Developed A Deeper Knowledge Of Music And Of Black Music In Particular. You Go To Europe, And These Kids Know About All This Obscure Funk And Soul That Kids Over Here Wouldn't Know. I Think It's Getting Better In The States, Though, With The Age Of The Internet.

There's Definitely An Old School Element To My Music, But I Also Think It's Modern.

The Way I Was Raised And The People That I Grew Up Around For The Most Part Were Very Humble People, And I Appreciate All That They Taught Me, And Their Energy And Their Magnanimity Help Keep Me Grounded.
