It's also hard for me to understand growing up not knowing where I came from. I searched for my parents - I started when I was twenty I found both my mother and my father when I was twenty-two. Trying to catch up on twenty-two years that we can never get back, trying to reconcile that - that's a hard thing for me.

Michael Franti
I went to Iraq because I wanted to see what one year of occupation had done to Iraqi society, and I went to the West Bank and Gaza Strip because I wanted to see what three generations of occupation had done to Palestinian society. I found a lot more hopelessness and despair in Palestine.
Michael Franti
Be who you are, nothing more... nothing less.
Michael Franti
Whenever people go out of their way to help other people - there's power and beauty in our diversity.
Michael Franti
San Francisco has always been a haven for misfits and weirdos. I'm both of those, which is why I came here.
Michael Franti
Music is sunshine. Like sunshine, music is a powerful force that can instantly and almost chemically change your entire mood. Music gives us new energy and a stronger sense of purpose.
Michael Franti
Be as radiant as the sun, as healing as the rain, as generous as a tree.

When you're in Jamaica, unless you're in a tourist spot, you don't hear Bob Marley you mostly hear dance hall music.
