All my life, I’ve known how to express myself without using words, through music. To me, music’s universal power to bring people together is stronger and more moving than any words. But the reality we face today fills me with such concern that I feel it is necessary to speak out about fundamental issues that affect the public as a whole, with far-reaching consequences for the future.
