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.

Jazz music just resonates with the frequency of me.

Whoever you are, if you know what you're doing, you don't want other people to overtake the merit of your art.

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

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

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

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.
