Funk is the absence of any and everything you can think of, but the very essence of all that is. And saying that, I'm saying funk is anything that we create in our minds that we want to do, what we want to be, but we don't have the resources.

I think soul will always find its way into what I'm doing. It just comes from my root.

I'm always surprised that I'm still around funk and that people are still into it.

Soul music is about longevity and reaching and touching people on a human level - and that's never going to get lost.

I appreciate what others have done in the past especially for my genre, and my style of singing. And they sure put a footprint - you know, they got the foot in the door, but I'm going to put my foot straight through the door.

I'm trying to change the root of funk, trying to make it more progressive, more melodic and more lyrically structured.

I started to work up in my old bedroom, playing, writing songs, and it somehow came to me that I could introduce soul music. Nobody seemed to be doing that.

I grew up on soul music. I was a dancing little creep.

Music is the refuge of souls ulcerated by happiness.
