"The ladies tell me when I sing, it makes them feel like they’re the only one in the room. So it’s not always how well you sing; it’s how well you please the audience and your fans."
Mistah Wilson: How do you feel about there being a so-called "King" of R&B? Do you embrace tha notion or do you think it's a stretch?
LeGrand Whitt:
I could be King of R&B because I never wavered from it. Because I was trained to sing R&B even though I can sing anything that I put my mind to. Being a King is earned by constantly studying my craft. Listening to all types of music so I can be well versed in all areas of music. As King when I perform I control the room with my voice and personality. And the Ladies love it. The ladies tell me when I sing, it makes them feel like they’re the only one in the room. So it’s not always how well you sing; it’s how well you please the audience and your fans.

Mistah Wilson: If you could only recommend one song off tha album, which one would it be and why?
LeGrand Whitt: I would recommend the song "
Do My Life (remix)" because I write according to what’s going on in the world today. And what I see in the world today is not pretty for us as people of color. So my way of expressing my inner feelings and thoughts is through my song "
Do My Life". Because if you look around, every black leader that we’ve had that was leading us to a better place was murdered by our own people because of generational curses. I’m hoping that my music would help change the way people think about each other. I want to touch humankind's souls.
Mistah Wilson: You're no stranger to performing. What have been some of your favorite shows and venues you've performed in?
LeGrand Whitt: The places that I liked to perform in was
The Los Angeles Convention Center for the hair show Unplug.
The Study in Hollywood was a great venue there was nothing but women there and it was a great show. Laguna Beach Resort was great too I was performing in front of a bunch of millionaires and rich dignitaries we had a ball because when you see them on the outside they act like they’re so conservative but when they have a few drinks watch out for the entertainment lol.
Cafe Roma’s in Beverly Hills I like the place because it was a bunch of stuck-up Beverly Hills people until I started singing and then they all wanted to be my best friend. And they were telling me I brought
Marvin Gaye back to life. And the
Boney James Band was backing me and they gave me a huge compliment to big ups to
Café Roma in Beverly Hills.
