I love doing shows. I love rocking shows. I love playing instruments. I love singing. If I can find a way to do that and feed my family, then I'm a happy man.

'Doo-wop' is a very special word for me. Because I grew up listening to my dad who, as a Fifties rock & roll head, loved doo-wop music.

Writing for other artists helped me figure out that magic you have to capture to make everyone connect with a song.

I guess if I'm a product, either you're chocolate, you're vanilla or you're butterscotch. You can't be all three.

My goals are - I don't need much. I'm a simple man. I think that success is having fun. And when I'm having fun doing music, I'm happy. If I can make a little money on the side doing it, I'm really happy.

You know, my sister sings, my brother plays drums in my band. My whole family is a bunch of musicians.

I could sing you a thousand and one doo-wop songs. I love the simplicity in that music. It's not super-poetic, it's just from the heart.
