My parents were music lovers and collectors. It was around.
I'm easily distracted by other things in the world around me.
As far as other instrumentalists, I used to love mellow sax players like Paul Desmond. I love piano.
I would say that I'm finding my voice in more ways than one.
My earliest influences were things I heard in my household.
As a guitar player, you can gravitate to the blues because you can play it easily. It's not a style that's difficult to pick up. It's purely emotive and dead easy to get a start with.
