To always maintain an element of realism and truth in my music. To remain open minded and not confined to any particular style. To be original from my songs to my performances. To connect with my audience every time I perform. To use my talent to explain complex and abstract ideas in a simple fashion. To stand up for those who have no voice. To have fun doing it and help others have fun in life. To explore the power of language and words. To express my opinion and give my heart and soul to the listener. To make political commentary. To get people to understand that we should respect and love each other. To be confident in my capabilities, but not cocky. To always be prepared to rock a crowd.
