I don’t follow any fads or trends.

What song do you wish you wrote?

Michael Jackson was a legend and Man In The Mirror is such an amazing song.

If you had to organize a festival, who would be your three dream headliners?

The headliners for my ultimate festival would be Michael Jackson, Bob Marley and of course, The Black Eyed Peas.
