Society cannot continue to disable themselves through their need to categorize people or make assumptions as to another individual's abilities.

I've kept a diary since I was 11.

I'm not a deaf musician. I'm a musician who happens to be deaf.

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

Once you're in a particular country, and you're surrounded by musicians who are so adept at traditional music, you suddenly realize how much there is to explore and digest and learn and experience.

Music really is our daily medicine.

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.
