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

I listen to gospel music.

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.

I'm associated with gospel music in the minds of millions of people.

We went to church every Sunday. When I was a kid, the only time I sang was around my family.

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.

When I'm actually getting off the bus, I still have my gospel playing. That's the way-to-the-game kind of music.

My childhood was limited to mostly gospel music. We didn't have, like, a lot of records in our house, you know. It was like my grandparents who raised me. They were pretty old-fashioned in their religious ways, so it was like church, church, church, school, school, school.

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

My parents listened to a lot of music when I was really little. They used to listen to people like Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder and I used to be really into that.
