My father was a Norwegian tenor and my mother a New York Irish librarian.
I still do a lot of shows with Brian Koonin, but we haven't had a full band lately.
I listen to a lot of different kinds of music.
I don't know why I'm alive but I know there's a reason for it.
The first Latin music that blew my mind was bumba, which was a Puerto Rican beat.
Until I was six years old we lived in the projects, then my two brothers and three sisters and I moved to a three-bed that my mother's father built.
