But even with that strong Nigerian background, I never focused on the African culture in any of my music before. As a singer and artist, I\u2019ve always been this British guy who has lived in the U.S., recently became a citizen and so, in essence, I\u2019m also African American. For years, my mother urged me to put some African influence into my music, but I kept insisting that it wasn\u2019t a commercially viable genre.” “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”<\/strong> Mercedes-Benz of Arrowhead is a proud member of the Peoria, Arizona community! Come say hello to us!
