My records don't go platinum or gold. I think they go cedar.

I make music to bring the dead to life for a couple minutes and then let it go.

Being in L.A. has definitely given me the opportunity to experience how my music sounds in real life because I can drive around and listen to the mixes, which I couldnt do in New York. I get to feel how a song works in combination with a sunset and a drive through the mountains.

If we can move together as a species, I think that there is a possibility that we can make the world a better place.

If youre going to reach for it, reach all the way for it. Albums like Purple Rain and Thriller and those kind of records, you had to reach far above the din of cynicism and modern living to get to that place, against all the odds.

There are so many people in the world with so many different perspectives. But ultimately, at the heart of it, they're people.

Under the spell of the right song, passion is within reach... love is close by... and you are not alone! With such potency, music should be treated with care. The sound, the feel, the presentation... everything! It is a medicine. It is a teacher!
