Music isn't about music, it's about life.

I try stuff. I synthesize what's of value with some of the other things I have at my disposal.

Jazz to me is the spirit of freedom. I mean real freedom. Freedom to explore. Freedom to express. Freedom to pour out your guts.

We need to put into practice the idea of embracing other cultures. We need to be shaping the kind of world we want to live in instead of waiting for someone else or some other entities to do it for us.

Music truly is the universal language.

But, the truth is that everyone is somebody already.

Music is not the only reason that I practice Buddhism anymore because it has affected my whole life.
