I've always liked funk and rock and everything.

Funk, I don't think I have anything to do with funk. I've never considered myself funky.

I fell in love with funk music through my father - Funkadelic - as well as soul and classical early on.

I'm the renegade of funk. I've made house, techno, rock, funk, reggae... That's why I've been on so many different labels.

I've always gravitated towards the beats, obviously. And when I was growing up, I always loved funk music or even - dare I say it - disco.

I have never met one person who likes Grand Funk.

I am in love with old school funk and soul music. That's what I grew up listening to, and I want to bring that style back with my music. I love artists like Stevie Wonder, Donna Summer, Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson, Earth, Wind, & Fire, Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake, and more!

When I was coming up, a lot of serious jazz players couldn't stand funk.

Funk is the absence of any and everything you can think of, but the very essence of all that is. And saying that, I'm saying funk is anything that we create in our minds that we want to do, what we want to be, but we don't have the resources.

I still love music - that's never gonna go away.
