Music is a means of spreading the good word and spreading positivity and productivity. Those things speak to me.

For me as an artist, the expansiveness of my interests and my influences make me enigmatic. I think any man can be that way - if you love enough interesting things.

I tend to like antique things. Something can be old, but it can be timeless.

On a good day I think I'm handsome, on an average day I'm average. I'm a man's man so I don't necessarily know how cute we're supposed to be.

Tolerance, compromise, understanding, acceptance, patience - I want those all to be very sharp tools in my shed.

I was one of those kids, inner-city youth and finding my way. I made it. I made a success out of myself, surprisingly.
