I decided during my teens that I wasn't going to have the life of a concert pianist, much to the chagrin of a lot of people who had put a lot of money into me!
To put it in musician's terms, my chops are good.
My background was in performing originally.
I'm lucky to be in a profession where you can keep getting better.
I used to perform all the time but I haven't performed in New York in a very long time.
Since I was the solo artist as well as the writer for the songs, I figured I had enough credits on it already.
