As a child I always wanted to be a singer. The music my mother played in the house moved me - Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Mahalia Jackson. It was truly spiritual.

I believe there are certain things that God uses to get us out of a bad situation, and I believe music was one of the things he used for me. ↗
