If you make modern rap music, how do you write without ripping off anyone else? It's just about having a distinct voice in your songs.

For the score of 'Black Panther,' the heart and soul came from immersing myself in the rich musical history of the griots in West Africa. I was following these brilliant musicians all over rural Senegal, learning their musical language.

Music in Africa is perceived so differently than Western classical music - it's language and storytelling.

I traveled to a library in South Africa called ILAM (International Library of African Music), which has a collection of about 500 different instruments that don't really exist anymore.

Normally when you write for an orchestra, you think about melody and harmony and countermelody.

I'd say for a film composer, 'Star Wars' is kind of like the holy grail of film music. It's probably the best film music ever written.

Something I grew up with is John Williams, of course, with 'Indiana Jones' and 'Star Wars.'

No matter where you're born or what country you're from, you connect with 'This is America.' It speaks to people; it connects right to your soul. It calls out injustice, celebrates life, and reunites us all at the same time.

Obviously, the 'Rocky' theme is one of the most recognizable themes in film.

Needless to say, I like to create a unique sound for each project I do.
