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

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

Jazz music just resonates with the frequency of 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.

When I read, you know, a rough neighborhood of Portland, I'm like - what? - they didn't have kombucha bars there?

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

What I'm identifying with is the vision or the idea - whatever was the little nugget that started it.
