Education, for me, has helped me in my music.

I'm very interested, for instance, in music in education - getting young people not only to listen to, but participate in the music that I write. I consider this one of the most vital aspects of my work.

Music is a thing that changes people's lives. It has the capacity to make young people's lives better.

My main focus is to help people through music.

Music is the biggest tool of revolution - the best way to reach out to the youth and involve them. If you can't contribute to the world with your art, I don't see the meaning of life.

I've done a lot of growing up since the age of 16 and I really wanted that to be reflected in my music.

I encourage the study of music. And the immersion. 'Cause my life has been so enriched by being involved in music as I have.

I believe strongly in the power of arts education to engage and empower young people.

Music has always been a huge part of my life from a very young age, and today it remains a very powerful and natural way for me to connect with people, as well as my children.

I'm a huge fan of music in schools and music education because that's how I grew up.
