I just assumed the world was full of solo percussionists. I couldn't find sticks or music or anything where I was, but that was expected because there was nothing there anyway. And I think that was possibly the greatest asset for me, just not knowing.

I try to plant myself where I am and embrace what is there in front of me.

There are many collaborations I'd like to explore. One is to co-write a rap concerto with Eminem.

I am really quite fascinated by echo-locating bats and dolphins and have always wondered how sound affects the unconscious brain.

Hearing is a form of touch. I could hear less through the ears but more through the body.

Music really is our daily medicine.

I think I can only help to expose percussion to all sorts of people. The balance between the lighter and more serious side is important.
