I Don't Think What I Do Is

I Grew Up With Protests, Marches, Demonstrations, Struggle. But I Come From A Clan Of Community Workers.

My Biggest Obsession Is To Show Africans And The World Who The People Of Africa Really Are.

Africa Has Been Troubled For A Long Time - Well, The World Has Been Troubled Ever Since I Was Born.

I Just Came From South Africa, A Place That Had Been In A Perpetual Uprising Since 1653, So The Uprising Had Become A Way Of Life In Our Culture And We Grew Up With Rallies And Strikes And Marches And Boycotts.

I Had To Run Away From Home In Order To Be A Musician. Because I Came From A Family Of... My Father Was A Health Inspector; My Mother Was A Social Worker. And I Was Pretty Smart In School. So They Expected Me To Be Some Kind Of Academic - Schoolteacher, Or Doctor, Lawyer - And They Were Very Disappointed When I Told Them I Wanted To Be A Musician.
