Jazz music just resonates with the frequency of me.

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

I’m not gonna sit around and waste my precious divine energy trying to explain and be ashamed of things you think are wrong with me.

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.

I love people, and I love to be with people and to make music with people, but my natural state is to revert back to being by myself in my house, which is cool because thats where I practice and write and listen and study.

You can grow up with literally nothing and you don’t suffer if you know you’re loved and valued.

I fear that I won't get better and that I won't have time to practice. To be called a "jazz musician" - it's a big responsibility.
