I like the sparkle of the vibraphone.

I hope the seeds I have sown will be taken up by those who will follow me because the journey I have begun cannot be undertaken in isolation.

Percussion is physical, as most instruments are. The body must function well in order to play the instruments well. Last year I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro.

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

I didn't decide to become a musician until the age of 15, which is quite late.

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

I often play on the cello-bass side of the orchestra, because I prefer the deep sounds. I can't hear the violins well.
