“I want people to hear my voice and my music—and feel good. I think musicians can influence the pulse of the people. Voices and stories are powerful. The narratives we focus on are powerful. Some see the blues as the voice of the oppressed, but in the stories, I heard from my great-uncle Will Roy Sanders and other members of my family, the blues was always the voice of freedom. Our freedom is in our songs.”…

"I do believe there is a potential for that audience. There are kids out there who are leaning toward some basic grooves of life and some truth and humor. Being in a big arena with superstars will always draw the masses but there are plenty of festivals, smaller venues and recordings … even if they hear it on a Netflix movie or a documentary… that will reach their people.

"The simplicity, and the soul. The aim to make a good song, today we have so many amazing technicians and shredders, but it’s very rare to find a good song that sticks in your head. Too much is computerized, and while technology is great in one way, I do think it took away all the beauty of imperfection away.
