QUOTES

"You’re only human

And fly high on the wings of forgiveness."

Let’s break free of this gravity of resentment
And fly high on the wings of forgiveness."

"The songs that I've written about Africa, and AIDS and HIV and about the power of humanitarian love, those songs, I'm gonna sing them because I know that it's real."

"It's not fair that people ignore AIDS in Africa because it's Africa. It's not fair."

"I was very fortunate to have learned the transforming power of music early in life. As an adult I want to share that power by inspiring people to care about their neighbors near and far. Being a UNICEF Ambassador allows me this kind of opportunity."
