My Intentions With Any Of My Music

I Make Soul Music For Hip-hop Heads. It's Music I'd Want To Sample If I Were A Rapper.

I Think That What Happens Is That All Of My Modern Influences Blend Together With The Older Soul Influences And You Get Mayer Hawthorne.

I've Always Made Sure That I Tour With Bands That People Aren't Expecting Me To Tour With.

I Never Have, But I Would Love To Pick R. Kelly's Brain.

I Really Love Rap Music. I Grew Up In The '80s And '90s With Public Enemy, N.w.a., Ll Cool J - I'm A Hip-hop Encyclopedia. But I Got Kind Of Frustrated With The Chauvinistic Side Of Rap Music, The One That Makes It Hard To Write Songs About Love And Relationships.
