OMG!!! How refreshing to hear someone actually understanding that in our own strength we are limited but with God there is absolutely nothing we can't do. Gosh I'm so impressed with Neff-U.

[StudioCuts]

Absolutely refreshing to see Talented people as humble as this guy.

Thank you Dave & Herb for keeping it real! Love it!

For me this is one of the best interviews on Pensado's Place which i have heard! Neff-U took us from the beginning to the end....What drives a man to acheive greatness? His passion! Who is the source of this greatness? GOD! JESUS! Careful how you respond! Your words can save you or condemn you! Bless YHVH!

Neff-U got a very valid point there about the annointing - it changes everything in music (and every aspect of life). Loved this episode! Loved to here that Dave have a faith in God and is a believer!

When Neff-U first started speaking, I thought to myself, "Man, this is going to be a boring episode." After finishing the episode, I retract that thought. I will be watching this one again. Thank you.

[StarGalaxyBoy]

I really enjoyed whatching this episode of Pensado's Place, especially since it touched on some of the deeper aspects behind music! Thanks so much Dave for creating episodes like this!!!

[aleshiasmith]

this was awesome.. he is so humble, and to acknowledge God is humbling in hisbelief people dont mean thats where your strength comes from.. atheist or not, , respect music and where ever anyone feels it came from is their own truth.. if you got yours from rattling rocks andsticks together, , then praise on high to rocks n sticks, , but dont get so timid when one speaks of God, , u dont believe anyway so that should have not distracted you unless you are still not sure.

[ezekielthemack]

Excellent interview from Neff-u. His humility is something to be admired.

[CaapriceTube]

NEFF-U!!!! He gets R&B. Real Talented!

[DesiRanks]

I had to share this on my facebook. Thanks Dave. Thanks. I spent the past few days sitting in my studio with you as my mentor. I am a novice at this and hope one day through the voice of my daughter VONNII will get me to meet you. Love you guys and THANKS

[AlexNiedt]

Agreed. I really enjoyed it after the first half hour.

[ArthurStone]

Great show guys! Good to hear the discussion of musical influences alongside the technical talk - I could relate to a lot of that. Thank you : )

[DesiRanks]

This was really so inspirational to listen and learn from champions

[Zakuti]

Great ITL Dave!
I'm 20 mins in and so far i've learned nothing but god tought me! I wish there was an App that could translate what he's saying so that us "untouched" earthly beings can understand the language of the divine and be on the same page.
Anyway back to the interview!

Wont comment on the religious tone of the interview, but he's spot on when he talks about melody being the most important aspect of songwriting.
