QUOTES

"I've always felt that music finds its natural place within people and should not be restricted to a specific physical place. It is vital that today's musicians become proactive in advocating for music and the arts."

"I am very pleased to have been invited by Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to become a United Nations Messenger of Peace. This is an opportunity to champion the United Nations' Millennium goals in a meaningful way. I look forward to being an advocate for the cause, working both through my own community engagement organizations and in collaboration with United Nations programmes.”
