Basically, I live to do gigs.

I really started writing music to challenge myself, to see what I could write.

Having listened to great songwriters like James Taylor and Carole King, I felt there was nothing new that was coming out that really represented me and the way I felt. So I started writing my own stuff.

Since I was 16, I've felt a black cloud hangs over me. Since then, I have taken pills for depression.

I don't have emotional needs, only physical ones.

I'd like to be remembered as someone who wasn't satisfied with just one level of musicianship ... as someone who was a pioneer.

It's important for me to be with a musician or someone who has a creative mind.
