Music is spiritual. The music business is not.
Music is part of us, and either ennobles or degrades our behavior.

When I was a teenager, I began to settle into school because I’d discovered the extracurricular activities that interested me: music and theater.
When I was 17 years old, Frank DiLeo saw my very first music video and flew to my hometown of Las Vegas to meet with my family and me. Frank told my dad, ‘I am coming out of retirement to manage one last big act: Manika.’
