I think the best part for me is just being able to perform for people every week.
In life we all go through different situations that cause you to reflect. I had the opportunity to be married to a wonderful person. And for some reason two good people couldnt make a good thing work. But in life, the one thing that I love about being an artist is that you can sometimes use the pain that you go through to make beautiful things.
I've been blessed because there are a lot of great singers out there that didn't make it past their first album.
I'm always happy for people when I see God blessing them the way he's blessed me.
I feel like I have been totally blessed with everything that I have done.
I don't like to be a preacher or anything, but the one thing that I've learned is that you truly are what you eat.
I am comfortable with anything I sing: jazz, gospel, classical. It doesn't matter. I can do it all.
Dairy products are not good for a singer.
I have a greater goal - to empower young people through music education.
If you eat good, you feel good. I would encourage every body else to do the same.
I'm racing against me. As long as I come across the finish, I'll be okay.
The schedule is really crazy and the fans are sometimes kind of crazy, but other than that it's been - it's been cool.
I think I look good. I think I look real good.
I never knew that the things I wanted to do would come this fast, but this is the route that God took me, and so I'm excited.
