"In that song in particular, I speak about my grandparents and the fact that they came here for a better life. They didn't know the language, and they learned it. They didn't have any form of transportation, and they figured it out. They had a family, and they made sure that their children had the best that they could supply for them — although it wasn't much. And they made something out of nothing, and I had to do the same thing, but in my own way. I started at the most difficult time in my life.

And we're not doing it because we're trying to prove people wrong, but simply because we're doing things that we love to do."
