people age forget
And as I got older and played more, people began to forget about my age and took the music more seriously.
jesus important want
Yeah, but Jesus is the most important thing to me and I want to be bold about it.
thinking style agendas
With the style of music that I do, I don't think it's at the top of their agenda to push me into doing any compromising material.
who-i-am
Who I am musically I hope will just keep changing and changing.
sound moments stage
When you get just that right audience and just that right sound on stage and you can just sit back and kinda just let it happen and it's not really any work. I love those moments. Nothing can beat that for me.
people pops type
Well, people who are blues purist types are usually the most vocal and the ones that pop up on the websites.
song writing way
Sometimes I'll get a burst when I write lyrics, it usually happens in 20 minutes and I'll write the whole song, and that's really the only way it feels comfortable.
artist soul black
Some of my influences are black gospel artists so I definitely want to do a soul-gospel type thing.
blessing people able
Right, yeah, you know, my favorite thing just globally about music is just hopefully I'm able to be, you know, blessing the people in any way that I can.
serious musician prove
But I needed to prove to everyone that I was a serious musician.
thinking artist musical
I think I'm more influenced, just in general, not by blues artists, but more by stuff from Curtis Mayfield, Stevie Wonder. Stevie Wonder is probably my biggest musical influence of all. And Donny Hathaway.
artist listening different
I've been getting into different gospel artists; Aretha Franklin is someone I've been listening to a lot of.
musician wanted
I always knew I wanted to be a musician.
song mind able
You know, being able to, in my mind, have a song that you know doesn't really have any loose ends or you know, extra fat in it, so to speak.
