Music is one of those things that brings great joy to people, singing is a sort of unifier of people, no matter what political place or original place you come from.

Music is always my refuge and joy! It is a constant source of joy even in my hardest times.

The greatest blessing that one can get from music is that it makes an artist immensely satisfied with life irrespective of the financial condition in which they may be.

Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.

It is a blessing to be able to do what I love for a living, and to have people appreciate my music.

I've always been passionate, crazy about music, and believe me it's wonderful.

I wrote and recorded music for many years, thinking I was only pleasing myself. The fact that so many people have appreciated the music, makes my life incredibly rewarding and full.

"Music takes me to places of illimitable sensual and insensate joy, accessing points of ecstasy that no angelic lover could ever locate, or plunging me into gibbering weeping hells of pain that no torturer could ever devise".

My music brings life to people. I want to celebrate people and bring them together. I also know that music can motivate people, that’s why sometimes I just dive into this humanitarian job as a musician.

Music has given me over 40 years of extraordinary experiences. I can't say that life's pains or more tragic episodes have been diminished because of it. But it's allowed me so many moments of companionship when I've been lonely and a sublime means of communication when I wanted to touch people. It's been both my doorway of perception and the house that I live in. I only hope that it embraces you with the same lusty life force that it graciously offered me.

Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.
- Confucius

What gives me joy is having a positive impact on people’s lives and knowing that I made a difference.

Getting to travel a lot and meeting new people. For me, that’s the best part of the experience of being a music artist.

Life without playing music is inconceivable for me. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music, I get most joy in life out of music.
