I managed because of my mother. I managed because I'm strong. I managed the same way every other abuse survivor survives, you just do.

Anyway, in my performance style, I'm a singer-songwriter. People can call it neo-soul or R&B or whatever. But at the core, when you see me live, I'm a singer-songwriter.
