It's a blessing as an artist to express myself - whether that be via dance, via song or via speech - in so many different ways.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Having the opportunity to express myself through music has been extremely cathartic for me my entire life.
As long as the songs are strong, I think you can express yourself in any style and have it be soulful and have it be your own voice.
I see dance being used as communication between body and soul, to express what it too deep to find for words.
I believe that dance communicates man's deepest, highest and most truly spiritual thoughts and emotions far better than words, spoken or written.
You have to open your mind. I like the ability to express myself in a deep way. It's the closest music to our humanity - it's like a folk music that rises up out of a culture.
I come from a long line of people who express themselves through the dance. I come from a long line of people who create music through their feet.
To me, dance is so ethereal and elusive, so much of an illusion. After a performance, that's it. With vocals and music, you have good recordings.
I've always felt, even as a songwriter, that the rhythm of speech is in itself a language for me.
Because I express myself through the music, I want to be responsible in that expression and how it carries on well after I'm here. But that's just me.
In our world, as artists, the only time I'm allowed to express myself is through song.
