My upbringing was faith-based, but we believed you should love all others as you want to be loved, because everyone should be treated equally.

My real musical discovery started when I was 10 with Stevie Wonder and the Jackson 5, and acts that I connected with because they were young when they were doing it, like me.

But these aren't things you can let consume your life.
