6. Yes. Because I was born black. And the black people that I was around who were older than me didn't listen to country, rock, and metal music. They listened to Jazz, Blues (black people blues) R&B, Soul, Funk, Hip Hop, and Dancehall.

7. I was born into it so I grew into loving what everyone I was around as a baby did and listened to. Who happened to be black.
