“Whenever God restores something, He restores it to a place greater than it was before.”

I’ve made this decision not to talk to the press about anything that’s gone on in my life, but just to write music about it. They can interpret it themselves.

Music is real; it’s something you can touch and feel. It moves you – the bass literally shakes you and rocks you from the inside.

Music makes your soul feel amazing while you’re performing it. It’s not air, it’s not wind, it’s not anything like that. It’s solid. It’s thick. It’s like summertime in New York.

You say that you are just a body, but inside of you is something greater than the Universe.
