I have a very diverse crowd from old, young, black, white, straight, gay. It's a little bit of everybody.

I think it's awesome to see people of all different ages from all kinds of backgrounds come together for the love of music.

My American audiences are pretty mixed. I get all sorts of people, old and young. It's nice.

People tell me they use my song 'Coming Home' at their weddings. My audience seems to range from young to old, and it's cool when you really get to connect with all different people.

I have a lot of fans who are people of color. I think, if nothing else, I kind of understand that sense of being on the outside looking in, culturally.

I've grown up with my audience; they're my age or older. Not a lot of kids are coming to see me.

I think I can connect with an audience because I know what it's like to be on the other side of it and I really remember all of that.

I see how people look at me, all around the world. They see something because of the race I belong to. I have to understand that and put it into my music.

My audience has lots of people between 20 and 35, but there are always a few 60-year-olds, and it makes me happier than if everyone was 22.

When I was 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, I had so many people I looked up to and was so inspired by all these different people. It's cool to be in that position.
