My take on rap is driven by straightforward American southern rock and blues.
You know, I guess there's enough information out there to support that I'm a crazy, wild dude and rock and roll and this, that and the other. And there's enough information to support that, you know, I'm a single father, that, you know, has been a pretty standup guy in his community and pretty private about that stuff. But it's on both sides.
I didn't want to go out and change anything. I just wanted to make the music that was part of my background, which was rock and blues and hip-hop.
Bringing people together is one of my favorite things... I believed that's what a rock 'n' roll Jesus would really do - bring people together through music.

I play Rock 'n' Roll, that's what I do.

I don't rock for Cancer. I rock for cash, and the topless dancers.
When I started out I thought I might make a little money, get some girls, get a taste of the rock 'n' roll life. It's gone way beyond that.
I have always touched on different genres whether it has been hip-hop, country and the rock element.
I got into rock and roll to piss my parents off and the establishment around me.
