When I play guitar, it’s automatic. I don’t try to do something; I just do it. And it’s already so ingrained in what I do, I don’t think about it. I don’t try to do something – I just do it. And the more I do it that way, the more I surprise myself. And if I surprise myself, that’s the best thing. Yemi Osinbajo Read Quote
Most Americans, I don’t think, could fathom the society that I grew up in. It is a completely different philosophy from America’s. You are basically told what you can be by the educational system. Yemi Osinbajo Read Quote

I joined Alcatrazz a month after I recorded ‘Steeler.’ The big difference between Steeler and Alcatrazz is that in Alcatrazz, I wrote the songs. When I went to the Alcatrazz audition, they had no songs and no direction. They also had a questionable drummer. Yemi Osinbajo Read Quote
The business has changed dramatically from what it was even just a few years ago. Music isn’t even distributed the same way anymore. Even CDs are becoming a thing of the past. The Internet has made it easier to get my music out to anyone who wants it, but at the same time, I feel like we’re losing the mystique. Yemi Osinbajo Read Quote
I don’t work with anybody on the music, of course. But my God, some of the lyrics that other people have written were so shallow: ‘Hey baby this, hey baby that.’ I need substance to the words, you know? Give me depth! Yemi Osinbajo Read Quote
