Someone told me that you could learn to sing, and that there are muscles that if you build, you will sing.

Essentially, your voice is an instrument; it's a muscle, and you have to treat it like a muscle, and so you have to work it.

Well, any time I'm preparing for a performance or even a rehearsal, it's as if in a way, like any other athletes, these are muscles that support the vocal cords which are just I believe cartilage. It demands a kind of constant warming up and a constant feeling of where is the voice today.

But actually just yesterday we raised the key of one of my songs two steps up, so my voice is obviously responding. It's a muscle, and the more you use it, the more you use it right, the more you should get out of it. So yes, I sing.

If you are a singer and you lose your voice, you realize that you have other skill sets when that is taken out of the equation.

When you sing a song the way I sing it, you have to use your whole body. It's almost like working out.

I'm a musician. I play instruments. I dabble in the hip-hop field. That doesn't take vocal ability necessarily.

Fortunately, I have always played a lot of sports, so I keep my lungs in good shape. That translates to singing as well.
