As much as I am hip-hop, I'm soul. As much as I am soul, I'm a turntablist. As much as I'm a DJ, I love jazz and rock.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Musically, I try not to box things in. I try to just play around this spectrum of influences: soul, jazz, and hip-hop.
I like a lot of soul, but I also put a lot of folk into what I do.
You've got to be true to who you are and what you do. I'm more of a hip-hop feel person. Music is how you feel. The younger the mind, that's how I wanna be.
Music is a huge part of my life, I enjoy every genre of music from jazz to country, and I even get down with a bit of hip hop.
Some people think I'm a rock 'n' roll musician and some think I'm a jazz musician but, for me, there is no difference.
I think with me and the type of music that I'm trying to make, it's always going be soulful because I grew up listening to different types and variations of soulful melodies and jazz, but experimenting with different types of stylistic souls.
I was a pop freak. I love music. Of course, I knew soul because I grew up in it. Writing it and everything. I love soul. But I love a tune that has some meat in it. Something I could hang my hat on. Because music is universal. Therefore, I felt no boundaries.
I make soul music for hip-hop heads. It's music I'd want to sample if I were a rapper.
We mix a lot of genres - soul, pop, jazz - but we most agree on hip-hop.
I'm a rock singer, but I love soul, I love blues, and I love theatrical stuff, too, like theatrical rock like Queen and Meat Loaf.
