“In terms of perceptions of the culture, most people don’t think about music.”

I don’t speak anything very well. The longer that you travel, you find out that you really don’t even need to speak the language to get around and get things done, to live in those places.

Like most of the popular songs are today in the English language that I hear – then it would be much more of a turnoff then if it would allow me to interpret it.

From the expressive capabilities of the vocalizing or of the sound itself, which allows me to create my own meaning for it, which elevates it into a higher piece of work for me.

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.
