There were a few good albums, but too often those companies had too much influence. I think that's what helped cause the friction with the big labels like Virgin who'd signed me to a big contract thinking that in no time I'd be selling just like Phil Collins. And so there were experiences that didn't go too well.

Special thanks to my friend Peter Gabriel for all that he has done for me and for music in general. Africa thanks him for being the biggest promoter of music without frontiers.
