Getting to know where we come from is a really profound way of getting to look at who we are.

You can tell all our songs come from us and from our artists, the people we write with and travel with.

If you come from Africa with your economic poverty and your cultural riches, and you meet someone like Peter Gabriel or a person from a big record company, and they tell you that what you are doing is marvelous, that makes you feel powerful.

The place that I'm trying to come from and where I'm trying to make music from is when I feel like I'm able to somehow, like, transcend it all and just speak right to God.

It's fascinating when you're from another place, but you don't speak the language.

I have Aboriginal roots on my father's side, and have always indentified with that spirit. I feel a lot of my music comes from that place.

It would be nice to travel if you knew where you were going and where you would live at the end or do we ever know, do we ever live where we live, we're always in other places, lost, like sheep.

I can put in Bob Marley's music now, and it's still relevant.

I know the cadence of the language and the voice of Atlanta because I've lived here for so long.

As I traveled the world over, I traveled everywhere, and I learned so much.
