girl kids years
My fan base is extremely random. It's the 14-year-old white kid sitting next to your auntie from St. Luke's Baptist Church, to the 20-year-old Black girl who probably would go to a Rihanna concert, but she's coming to my show.
space hip-hop bars
It's the repetitive thing that brings space. That's one of the things I love secretly about hip-hop. Jazz doesn't have that element. It changes every bar, nothing is ever the same.
singers interviews magazines
If I was a singer who won those Grammys, I'd be gracing all the magazine covers... I barely got asked to do an interview.
feelings wow today
Instead of hearing, "Oh, he's good," I'd rather hear, "Wow, you changed my feelings today, you made me feel different."
thinking play radio
I think there's good music out there. I just think that radio stations don't play it.
hip-hop hips classic
If you really dissect hip-hop you will find a whole lot of Charles Mingus, Ron Carter, Ahmad Jamal, a lot of classic jazz samples in there.
people generations honest
Everybody's not going to like jazz, let's just be honest about it. Everybody doesn't like everything. There's a disconnect in generations and some people just aren't going to feel that music.
responsibility flirting people
I do feel a responsibility because most people like me that are my age or younger, they don't quite make it over to the jazz side. They flirt with it, but they don't quite marry it.
art experiments
Experiment is actually doing the art. That's the experiment and then you get to experience the experiment.
thinking people style
I feel like certain people think that certain styles of music will taint their jazz style.
style crafts jazz
I'm not really married to the craft of jazz - I'm married to me, and my style, and whatever I produce.
song people lasts
"Cannonball Adderley said, 'First 20 minutes we'll jazz out, then the last hour it's gonna be songs that people paid to see.' Which is why he was driving a Rolls-Royce."
mind jazz boundaries
Jazz is a state of mind. There's no boundaries.
people trying doe
A lot of times, jazz musicians try to educate people. What other genre does that?
