Quotes
“Gospel was the root of everything in my house, so there’s a touch of that in everything that I do. If soul counts as a genre, I would also say that’s the common thread throughout everything I do. There’s rock and soul influence, too. The pop element comes at the very end and making the song catchy so people will remember it.”
