You can bomb the world to pieces, but you can't bomb it into peace. Power to the peaceful.

My greatest sense of accomplishment has come from having two amazing sons, but it's also a paradox in that the times when I felt like the biggest failure have been times when I felt like, as a parent, I wasn't making the right decisions or succeeding in the way that I should.

~ Michael Franti

All my songs are different, but from the overall experience, I want people to sense that they can overcome and move through difficult times and find strength in my music. Maybe it's a song that makes them cry and move through something else.

~ Michael Franti

Like sunshine, music is a powerful force that can instantly and almost chemically change your entire mood.
