Music continues to remind me that its boundaries are limitless.

The kind of audience I'm speaking to is a very wide range of people.

My parents have been with me every step of the way.

My folks have played everything from rock, disco, pop, funk, and blues. My dad has always brought and played different genres like jazz, classical, and Latin. With all this in my pocket, I feel I have a taste of everything for my influences.

I believe a great performer is someone who sounds just as great live as they do in the studio and vice versa. They should know how to work the stage.

I'd rather have people really be able to step back and get their money's worth and look at me as a true artist than somebody who is just regurgitating other material.

I love classic rock, rock and roll, that's the top notch. I love soul - bluesy music as well.
