Taj Mahal

As a solo performer, it's total involvement. What I do is to break down the wall between audience and performer.

When I was a kid, there was so much talent outside of recorded music.

My mother was American, and my father was from the Caribbean, and there was a big open door into the world of humanity and music.

I have a regular cleansing, toning and moisturising routine.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

There's a whole bunch of unfinished stuff. Then I've got books of lyrics. I find it frustrating to finish a song and not be able to record it... so I don't write a million songs.
