I do better singing female songs because my voice is so high-pitched.

I had been wanting to give guitar lessons to girls because I feel like women tend to use their voice as the starting point for a song and learn a few chords, and then it ends there because then they just use their voice to flesh out a song.

Harmonies come really naturally to me. I don't have to labor too hard over them. I'll sing a lead vocal, and then I will immediately have all of these other ideas for vocal harmonies. I think that some of the most fun parts of recording, for me, are the vocal harmonies.

We must tell girls their voices are important.

The male singers who had the same range I did, when I was growing up, didn't do much for me. But put on Nina Simone, Carmen McRae or Nancy Wilson, and I'd be in seventh heaven. Female vocalists just did more with their voices, and that's why I paid more attention to them.

As I go back and listen, the other girls weren't singing quite like I was.

We used to have a main female vocalist. But she had a baby. Now we do the singing ourselves.

There's only so much you can do with a male voice in dance music.

The only thing better than singing is more singing.

A female vocal can lift a song.
