I listen to gospel music.

I've grown up on gospel and blues music, and now it's a huge part of who I am.

I came up in gospel.

I have been singing gospel music since I was four years old.

Music just runs in my family. My dad and my uncles are a gospel quartet, Latimore Brothers. They've been doing their thing ever since I was a kid, so I just kind of grew up around that.

Gospel music played a huge part of my life. I was too scared to audition for the choir, but through my own music, I was also able to find spirituality for myself.

Now we have so many different genres of music, it's amazing to me. Even in the gospel music arena, you've got hip-hop, you got contemporary, urban contemporary, you got traditional, you got neo-soul gospel, you've got all of these different things.

I was raised on gospel. I remember hip-hop and rock music were secular, so basically, for my first ten years living in Detroit, I was on gospel. But when I moved to Houston, that's when I got to open up my musical horizons.

People love gospel music. It's calming. It's soothing. It gets right to the point of whatever you're dealing with.

The gospel music and doo-wop is what has informed me personally.
