I wanna make music that helps people.
Striving to make music that empowers people as opposed to making them feel like they're being beaten down every single day is so important.
The best thing for me is the amount of DMs and people hitting me up every day saying, 'Your music is providing me with answers.' That blows my mind, because that's what Alex Turner and Eminem were for me.
If you pour some music on whatever's wrong, it'll sure help out.
Music in New Orleans has always been the heartbeat that drives the city. It was that even before Katrina, and that's what we had to rely on after the storm.
Musicians keep playing when the lights go out, when people are suffering, confused, or angry.
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.
When a fan says, 'Man, you saved my life; I heard 'Jungleland'... and I cried... and I felt joy in my life again,' that's my hall of fame.
The true musician is to bring light into people's hearts.
The music is all. People should die for it. People are dying for everything else, so why not the music?
There are moments when great music can be the greatest service and charity.
My father's music gives hope to people and also inspires them to break the bonds of injustice and to be positive in life. I've seen that everywhere I go, especially in poor countries and poor neighborhoods.
Music is an extremely powerful force if used properly to uplift people. I believe music should be uplifting and not downgrading... it's a very, very powerful tool.
