I believe that we all have a responsibility to give back. No one becomes successful without lots of hard work, support from others, and a little luck. Giving back creates a virtuous cycle that makes everyone more successful.

I am most proud of what sfCiti has accomplished with the 'Circle the Schools' program, which engages companies to enter into long-term partnerships with San Francisco public schools, using an adopt-a-school model.

I've found that in now having experienced what it's like to make records and just through growing up in general that you should be expressive about what's affecting you instead of trying to sing about a subject just for the sake of other people getting something from it.
