I learned how music works dealing with Jermaine Dupri, and I learned how image works dealing with Puff Daddy. . . . Singing is an acting role within itself. . . I've gone through a lot of trial and error to find what works and what doesn't. With that comes an understanding of how to offer the same opportunities to other artists. . . . In my opinion the world is in need of real soul music. . . . I'm a flamboyant type of guy, a cooler version of Liberace. . . . I'm a younger Morgan Freeman. . . . I've been working so hard, I'm about to have a Mariah Carey.
I'm very educated and can give you somewhat of a vocabulary, but I don't get to the philosophical side.
