I was introduced to soul music at a very young age - my mom was a soul singer.

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

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

I got into the soul music, but I wanted to rock. I was a rocker.

I grew up listening to old soul.

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

My mom was a dancer, my dad's a singer and I've always had that kind of music in my life.

I was a pop freak. I love music. Of course, I knew soul because I grew up in it. Writing it and everything. I love soul. But I love a tune that has some meat in it. Something I could hang my hat on. Because music is universal. Therefore, I felt no boundaries.

I was raised around music.
