I just believe in my Indian, spiritual god and my music.

One thing that is constantly on my iPod is India Arie - I like her a lot; I listen to her a lot. I think she is just a spectacular artist.

Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.

My music has a very spiritual background, a sanctity that is almost like worship.

I do believe in the viability of Indian spiritualism.

My music is the spiritual expression of what I am - my faith, my knowledge, my being.

My music and lyrics became an extension of this Indian philosophy.

I met India Arie, who is one of my favorite artists of all time. It was really sweet; I was broken up with a month before, and she stayed up texting me all night and was helping me through it. Her text message looks like a song of hers. She's sort of become my fairy godmother.

I love Indian music very much, but I haven't studied that specifically.

I am definitely a spiritually centered person and that is usually one of my biggest guiding lights beyond music.
