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!

When I was four years old, my mother owned some tenements in the Bronx.

To put it in musician's terms, my chops are good.

I used to perform all the time but I haven't performed in New York in a very long time.

I have a bunch of albums I would love to get re-released.

Since I was the solo artist as well as the writer for the songs, I figured I had enough credits on it already.

My background was in performing originally.
