“Overall my race hasn't been a problem. I'm a Black artist with White skin. At the end of the day you have to sing what's in your own soul.”

“I write in all keys. I've always written in all keys. I've probably written a lot of songs in A.”

“I would walk down the hall with my guitar and play for anyone that would listen. As a young kid I was really driven and I was going to make it happen no matter what.”

“I play guitar, piano, bass and percussion.”
