Listen, this is the truth. I wanted so desperately to sing. So I just started mimicking. I taught myself through copying some of my favorite artists of the time. John P. Key, who was a gospel singer, amazing legend. Jodeci, which was my favorite group back then, R&B group, and Stevie Wonder.

I listened to every track they've ever made on repeat, and I taught myself to sing through just copying those wonderful, wonderful artists. And I started singing publicly after that.
