That's A Very High Goal To Have,

Many Times I Feel Different Like A Different Person.

Talent Is A Burden Not A Joy. I Am Not Of This Planet. I Do Not Come From You. I Am Not Like You.

I Feel What They Feel. And People Who Listen To Me Know That, And It Makes Them Feel Like They're Not Alone.

Music Is The Center Of My Life.

I Applied For A Scholarship To Curtis Institute Of Music In Philadelphia. I Knew I Was Good Enough, But They Turned Me Down. And It Took Me About Six Months To Realize It Was Because I Was Black. I Never Really Got Over That Jolt Of Racism At The Time.
