Music had been my first love among the arts, and I was fascinated by it, as I still am.

We had a really vast music collection and I was raised around rock'n'roll, it's just the way it was.

I think a lot of people came into rock n' roll to try to change the world. I came into rock n' roll to make music.

A lot of new genres were being born at the time I started going out to clubs in South London, and I was part of an exciting movement that has now blown up around the world.

I was raised around music.

I have created a new genre. It is a soulful creation that comes straight from my heart.

I was feeling really restless in my hard-rock band. I wanted to learn more about storytelling in music, and that's what country music is.

I was born at the beginning of rock and roll. I got to experience the entire evolution of popular rock and roll music even before it started.

It took me way beyond what I knew, into places of which I was totally scared, but as I became less frightened, I welcomed new ways of thinking and approaching something. It made me an infinitely richer person, and I think a better musician.

Music has always been a dominant force in my life. As a young kid, it was a way for me to escape everyday life.
