I Always Look Outside.

I Was A Jazz Major In High School, In An All-jazz Band. No Matter What I Do, It Features My Musical Influences.

I Grew Up In A Caribbean Family Household, So The Parents Are Always Right. My Father Smacked Me Up Til I Was 20. It Was A Strict Household.

My Dad Was In The Hood, He Was A Minister, And He Would Always Put Churches In The Ghetto.

It Was Important To Me To Go Back To The Grungy, Because All Of A Sudden You Get Excited Again, 'cause There's Another Whole Dimension Of 'clef That You Wasn't Expecting To Hear.

My Grandfather Was A Voodoo Priest. A Lot Of My Life Dealt With Spirituality. I Can Close My Eyes And Remember Where I Come From.
