“I heard something like this recently: That if you’ve got three buckets of water, and one is blue, black, and green, at the end of the day all of the buckets are the same, because they’re all still water on the inside. This is how I approach my music; by blending genres and cultures, it creates awareness of oneness, togetherness, and love through music, rather than separating us.”
