Control Quote by Kamasi Washington

“A legacy is a lot of times determined by how people accept your music. And sometimes people's legacy starts late or starts early, or they last a long time or a short amount of time. As a musician, I've never taken an approach of wanting to try to control that because I don't think that I can.” quote by Kamasi Washington — Download Open image
