It's weird sometimes to have people not see me or see what I do.

The music that I make is pretty sincere; it's from my heart and I love it, and what just happened is more people have started to connect with my heart, and I haven't followed some kind of marketing scheme.

Up-and-coming musicians can easily reach out and find a loving teacher, and that's definitely what happened to me.

I just think music is so intrinsically linked with images in the culture that we live in that youll be hard-pressed to have an experience with the music without a preconceived notion.

It's a pity if someone who has a really profoundly potent art to share chooses not to or doesn't fit into this very thin slice of what's desirable and marketable, chances are the public will never get a chance to hear what they're doing.

Jazz has always been a melting pot of influences and I plan to incorporate them all.

I am insubordinate by nature. I can't help it.
