If I Didn't Love It, I Would

I Look Forward To My First Visit To Israel. Music Is A Universal Language That Is Meant To Unify Audiences In Peace And Love, And That Is The Spirit Of Our Show.

The Artists Who Have Inspired Me The Most In My Life Are The Ones Who Have Really Had Something To Say And Stand Up For. That, To Me, Is Part Of Being An Artist-having The Voice To Express Things That Need To Be Verbalized And Brought To Light. Unfortunately, I Don't Think That's A Priority For People, Because The Few Artists Who Do Have The Nerve To Take A Stand For What They Believe Get Shut Down In A Way.

When I Was A Kid I'd Practise Chopin On Piano - And I Love Chopin! He's My Dawg! Then I'd Go Out On The Stoop And Blast The Radio. I'm From New York, The Concrete Jungle. Hip-hop Influenced Me From Day One.

I Love Bono. I Really Respect What He Has Done For Africa And How He Has Used His Fame To Do Good In The World. I Hope I Can Do Half As Much In My Life.

Soul Music Is Timeless.
