Personal motto:
“Bigger, better, great forever.” Think bigger than you’ve ever dreamed. Do better than you did the day before. Be great—forever.
Best advice for others:
There are over 8 billion people on the planet. The internet has opened the world from the palm of your hand. Anyone can find their tribe. Use it to build something great.
Most prized possession:
A signature blue violin. My dad, a Southern University alum, built his career on that violin. I’ve had several, but I feel like it wasn’t until I started playing that electric blue that things really began to happen in my solo career. Like a mantle of sorts, I consider it a family heirloom and look forward to the day it’s time to hand blue magic to my younger brother and hopefully have some of those same things happen for him.
