I think I would have become a teacher, or a musician… I guess music is my calling.

I’m not just a musician; I’m a cultural phenomenon.

I’m just a humble musician trying to make the best music I can.

As a musician, life is not over just because you are getting older, and so I find retirement a very frightening and dark thought.

I’m not a martyr, just a musician who dies for your sins. Oh, that’s what a martyr is? Very well then, I am a martyr, if you insist.

My father slapped my thighs with a variety of meats until I began to cry and sulked in the corner. I later became a musician.

I am an untrained musician and a common man’s singer.

I wasn’t making music consciously when I was younger. I was a musician, but that has its own stigmas. Anywhere on the planet, it’s one of the more undervalued positions.

A composer is a guy who goes around forcing his will on unsuspecting air molecules, often with the assistance of unsuspecting musicians

A lot of young musicians get the money at the wrong time. They get it for something they don’t feel great about, and it’ll make you feel so bad it’ll destroy you and kill you.

I am thankful that I can perform with Hui and E’dawn, who revived my listless feelings as a musician and helped me feel refreshed.

Many people die with their music still in them. Why is this so? Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live. Before they know it, time runs out.

I always wanted to operate at the highest altitude, just in terms of hip-hop and the music

The pure mathematician, like the musician, is a free creator of his world of ordered beauty.

Having a simple career as a musician who liked music was good enough for me.

You are the music while the music lasts.

I never felt comfortable enough to sing and just be this way, to just sing and wear my hair back. I never felt pretty enough or smart enough or a good enough musician.
