I believe the best persona to be onstage is the one that comes naturally.
I've been an amature inventor for a long time.
I'm a fan of many different styles of classical and symphonic music.
It is never easy for anyone to have success in music.
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.
I listened to many different types of instruments and music, and have always tried to look at the bass as an instrument as opposed to only a bass.
