We usually define ourselves by what we do;
I am a writer
Or I am a doctor
Or I am a dancer
Or I do construction
That's how we define ourselves
There's a big trip with all of that
[....]
We are not this or that thing
That We define ourselves as!
The core of which we are is a human being,
It changes everything
So music now, I look at it from the standpoint of human being
And use that as the foundation.
And then I use what I do to translate what initiates from my humanity
Into musical terms
That why I am able to make every record be different
From every other record!
