As far as current inspiration, I'm listenting to a lot of flamenco, because the techniques used for flamenco can be adapted to playing bass.

Very often I suspend my musical sensibilities to enjoy music as a fan.

And no again: My studio is not a first or any step toward becoming any type of businessman on my part.

It is never easy for anyone to have success in music.

I try to do my absolute best for the people who come see me play.

I've been an amature inventor for a long time.

I didn't follow the standard rules of bass playing, and many musicians on many different instruments who became noteworthy for their unique or particular style did a very similar thing.
