“The moment artists can just do what they love to do then music will go right back to where it used to be. I mean back in the ’60s and ’70s and ’80s, that’s what it was.”

Living right brings the smile out of you!!

Whoever told you its not possible was lying! Keep going!

Two things that define SUCCESS In LIFE: – The Way You manage when you have nothing & way you behave when you have everything.

I always want to set myself a challenge by doing something no-one would expect me to do! But, having said that, I don’t feel as a musician you can steer too far away from what you normally do.

People will throw stones at you. Don’t throw them back. Collect them all and build an empire.

Misery is a choice. I chose happiness.

What I remember the most really was just running wild there. Barefooted, swimming in dirty lakes, selling fruit, picking mango trees, hoping not to get caught because they don’t take kindly to thieves in Africa.

A fool dreams of wealth. A wise man dreams of happiness!

It’s always the music first for me. But if the music isn’t selling, there isn’t gonna be no business. So you gotta make sure music is always the first priority.

Let’s break out of our past and concur the future

The difference between dreams & success Is, dreams need effortless sleep & success needs sleepless efforts.

Damn life is so short.

I make sure to stop by in every city they exist to attend to my sweet tooth.

I’m a polygamist. I can afford to have as many wives as I can afford to have. All Africans believe in it. My dad has four wives.

I don’t want to know I’m getting older. Then I’ll start to think about getting checkups and insurance. I don’t want that.

Mobilizing all the youth to develop Africa. It’s our time. I hope the world is paying attention.

The great artist is a slave to his ideals.

I don’t judge too much as long as it’s good. As long as it’s good music and good artistry, I’m with it.

Guilt is cancer. Guilt will confine you, torture you, destroy you as an artist. It’s a black wall. It’s a thief.

Here in England, everyone’s a pop star, innit, whereas in America they believe in the term artist.

When you become an artist you’re working away from home for so much time. You really see what the use of time means to you once you’re an artist and you travel so much.

The artist cannot look to others to validate his efforts or his calling. If you don’t believe me, ask Van Gogh, who produced masterpiece after masterpiece and never found a buyer in his whole life.

Working with some of the best makeup artists has taught me a lot of amazing tricks to making me feel more confident, and I can’t wait to share them with you guys.

No one is an artist unless he carries his picture in his head before painting it, and is sure of his method and composition.
