I went to church when I was younger, but it was never something pushed down my throat or anything, which is a good thing. I found out for myself where I belonged.

I went to a church where you could not sing out loud in the service until you had been saved.

I didn't go to church all the time, just 'cause I was an antsy kid.

I thought music could take you to a place where you didn't even feel ownership of it, you just felt lucky you were there. It's like church without God, or something. It's about feeling, hope and catharsis and things that are nurturing.

They kicked me out of the church when I'm a little girl because they said I'm singing like a dog. They didn't want me to sing there anymore.

For me, when I grew up playing music, I played music in church and people were shouting and having a big time, and church wasn't something where it was subdued. If you played something, you brought it to church with you.

I went to church irregularly and was mostly reading comics in the pew.

Gospel music played a huge part of my life. I was too scared to audition for the choir, but through my own music, I was also able to find spirituality for myself.
