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

I grew up listening to old soul.

I grew up listening to a lot of soul music, which has probably informed the way that I sing on my tracks.

When I was in school, I really thought about soul a lot. I was listening a lot to Bjork and to the Commodores. I really wanted to know how they felt. And especially with Bjork, the music there told me wow, that's really her soul there.

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

I come from an era of music when it had heart and soul.

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 listened to pretty much anything that I could really feel, where I felt like the artist had to write those songs, where you can feel their soul and the pain and the happiness and love and everything.

Soul music is timeless.
