I think listening to real classic soul material made me learn how to feel music that's sung.

I started to work up in my old bedroom, playing, writing songs, and it somehow came to me that I could introduce soul music. Nobody seemed to be doing that.

I was introduced to soul music at a very young age - my mom was a soul singer.

I'm very soulful. I grew up singing in church. When I sing a song, I like to feel what I'm singing.

I grew up listening to a lot of soul music, and a lot of folk music.

Yeah, I've always sung, and I always try to find a way for music to be in my life.

I stumbled into soul music at a very young age. It had something that really spoke to me.

My music is evidence of my soul's will to live.

As a songwriter, I feel like, just for inspiration and research purposes, I have to listen to everything.

I am a songwriter. I do get to put my personal experiences in song.
