Musicians are a big voice; if they can make people happy and get them dancing, how about we translate that same energy into governance? What do you think will happen and the impact we will bring to our country? I think artists are capable and shouldn’t be belittled.
We shouldn’t lose our worth because we can. We can do it because we have seen others who have gone before us succeed to the international level,” she said.
