I remember 'Roots' growing up and the cultural impact it had on the country. Watching 'Roots' was not the cool remove of reading about slavery in a book or hearing about it in class. It became something that swept people along.

John Ridley

I don't want to grow up but I'm sick of not growing up -? that way. I'll find a different way of not growing up. There's a better way of doing it than torturing your body.

John Lennon

Like a lot of young people growing up in the middle of nowhere, I was desperate to leave my small town behind, but music reconnected me to my roots.

KT Tunstall

My music is roots music: it's a combination of growing up on the coast and mucking around with wood and wooden tones and sounds, salt, sand, fire, dogs, and heaps of brothers.

Xavier Rudd

When I began my journey, my aim was to do indie music. While growing up, there was an abundance of it but by the time I decided to do it, there was nothing. So, I became a playback singer, which got me fans and taught me about the versatility of my voice.

Jubin Nautiyal

My grandfather was a massive influence in my music. Growing up, he would play a lot of old-school records to me. A lot of jazz and swing music, actually, growing up.

Ella Henderson

I didn't know folk music growing up, no. It's something I've come to study, really, because I think there's so much to learn from traditional music in the sense of the way music began as a way of communication, the traveling storyteller, the bard, the minstrels.

P. J. Harvey

I'm not an R&B singer, I'm a singer. I can sing any music that makes me feel inspired whether it's Country, a little bit of Rock and roll but within my roots as well. I'm not going too far with it, but it'll be within my roots. I feel like trying a different way to express my music because so many people have already taken from what I've done in the past and it kind of makes me not want to ever do anything that I've done before.

Brandy Norwood

My music had roots which I'd dug up from my own childhood, musical roots buried in the darkest soil.

Ray Charles

The fans in Canada have been there since day one. They're the originals. When people say that's your roots, that's literally my roots. I've just cut this tree off and replanted it somewhere else and it started growing. But the roots are there.

Russell Peters

Growing up in east Tennessee gave me my country roots, my twang, and a lot of my stories.

Kelsea Ballerini

Music enables me to cleanse and shed the things that I feel are holding me back from growing, or growing up.

Damien Rice

Music was always ever present when I was growing up, and it's continued to be the most important and intrinsic part of me. It kept me from going off the rails as a kid, and it gave me rare purpose and self-confidence that I couldn't find from anything else.

Sam Fender

Your love keeps me afloat but will remain the anchor in my soul... I don't really have words to describe how romantic I find that. Your love is what keeps me going, but it's also the anchor that keeps me close to you. I love it!

Rabindranath Tagore

I was listening to country at the time too, mostly because when I was a kid growing up in the country, all my friends would listen to the CMT crap and I really hated it. That would make me really angry. But when I got older I started discovering that there was actually good country music that could sort of take me back to my roots.
