If you're of multiple races, you have a different challenge, a unique challenge of embracing all of who you are but still finding a way to identify yourself and I think that's often hard for us to do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Normally I don't race other people; I challenge the environment and my own limitations.
Some of my toughest races are people I've known, because it gets more personal than it should be.
The race is your face. Obviously, I come from a mixed background. Who I am and how I look and being black.
Overall my race hasn't been a problem. I'm a Black artist with White skin. At the end of the day you have to sing what's in your own soul.
I feel like decades ago it was either you're black, white, Asian or Hispanic, or whatever, but today we see more of an acceptance for people with multi-nationalities.
Every single thing in my life is built around race.
It's important for me to think I'm mixed-race.
You have to find a way - and thankfully for me, it's been music - to separate yourself from the racial identity. It's not easy, and I continue to work, God bless, and I'm really, truly appreciative of it.
I see how people look at me, all around the world. They see something because of the race I belong to. I have to understand that and put it into my music.
There's always a lot of talk about motivation to race, but nobody really knows what I do or what I think apart from myself, so I don't really care what people think.
