The first year was hard for me to deal with. The second year was a little bit easier, but still difficult. It took me five years to get it out of me. It was a difficult moment, a difficult time.
I grew up with a heavy diet of gospel, folk, and blues because those are kind of the cornerstones of traditional American music.
