I believe that through positive thoughts, speech, action and attitudes, we change things for the better.
Michael Franti
Image
Through music I either tame my demons or unleash them and allow them to be what they are. I don't want the music to be about provocation, I want the music to bring you to a place where you feel at home

Every single soul is a poem.

The most difficult part for me is feeling connected to the people that I love but always being on the go to different places.

A lot of times we look at the whole world and think, 'it's so daunting, how can we change the whole world?' and you don't need to do that, what you need to do is change your world a little bit, and see if you can, through example, inspire others to do the same thing.

I've never really been into flags of any kind, cause flags can bring people together, but they always bring people together against other people, and I don't really consider myself to be a patriot in the sense that I say, 'okay, this is my nation,' I consider myself to be a child of this whole planet.

The music industry has been hijacked by corporate interests, but the way music affects people and resonates with them hasn't changed.

My goal has not ever been to change minds, my goal is to open minds.

Whenever people go out of their way to help other people - there's power and beauty in our diversity.

Image
Be as radiant as the sun, as healing as the rain, as generous as a tree.

The personal revolution is far more difficult, and is the first step in any revolution.

The music industry has been hijacked by corporate interests, but the way music affects people and resonates with them hasn't changed.

Life is too short to make just one decision, Music's too loud for just one station, Love is too big for just one nation, AND GOD IS TOO BIG FOR JUST ONE RELIGION...

One of the things I love about yoga is that it brings you into the present moment. You aren't worried about what will happen tomorrow and you aren't thinking about what happened yesterday. It's about opening your heart and living from your heart.

We can bomb the world to pieces, but we can't bomb it into peace.

San Francisco has always been a haven for misfits and weirdos. I'm both of those, which is why I came here.
