The truth is an artist like me who doesn't get the type of promotion that we see more commercial artists receive, and especially in this climate of the music business, you have to be creative about how you promote yourself.
I'm an advocate of music in schools. It's important to me that music is in as many schools as possible across this country and across the world. I think that it's a lost art form because kids aren't as exposed to it as maybe they used to be, or should be. I was exposed heavily to jazz and that's why I love it.
Art is love and it covers. It sheilds.
People are mean and hateful, angry - haters everywhere, stupid blogs.
My hair and I had a really bad argument. She was being sprayed with alcohol and burnt with irons. She was being over processed and yanked and pulled by weave strings and suffocated by glue. She told me if I didn't straighten up and fly right that she was leaving.
A female piano player is always pretty cool to me.
I have epiphanies all the time, because I'm always thinking. I'm a thinker. I'm always writing poetry, I'm always coming to conclusions.
I like trendy clothes just like everybody else does.
I'm going to go out on tour when I feel like going on tour.
When I was in school I used to prank my teachers all the time. But I was really, really nice. I love to make people laugh. And even in those pranks, the teachers would laugh most of the time.
I like Bloomingdales, and I like a store called Scoop.
Truth is, I cut my hair for freedom, not for beauty.
Lately though I've been in love with myself and I've become my own best friend.
I think everything that happens in life we're prepared for in ways we really don't really know.
