There's A Certain Confidence That

My Family Is Very Musical, I Was Surrounded By It. And From Four Years Old I Was The One That Asked My Mother Could I Take Piano Lessons... It Wasn't Forced On Me. It Was Something I Wanted To Do. And Ever Since, I've Never Stopped, I've Never Stopped Playing Music. I Never Went Through A Period Where I Didn't Want To Do It.

I Know When Things Feel A Little, Like, Intrusive And When They Don't. I Don't Have A Lot To Hide. But I Do Sometimes Think, Don't Share Everything.

My Line Is Probably A Little More Conservative Than Some Of My Compatriots In The Business. But Again, I Think It's All - Like, It Just - It Comes Down To Me Knowing Who I Am And Knowing How I Want To Be Seen In The World, How I Want To Discuss Things.

Anybody Under The Age Of Forty Knows Hip-hop, Gospel And R&b Pretty Well, And It's All A Part Of What We Consider To Be 'black Music.' There Is A Natural Synergy Between The Three.

I Played Classical As A Kid.
