Just immerse yourself in the culture of the music - it will open some doors for you.

I'm a firm believer that you learn a hell of a lot more from your failures than you do from your successes.

Don't try to be someone else. Be yourself.

I'm just a restless soul musically.

Nowadays it's hard to get somebody to invest the time - everybody wants to be famous rather than be a good musician.

For artists like me, I think the times that just say the 80's alone, you didn't have to worry about getting twenty-five thousand Facebook followers. You didn't have to worry about every club, every venue you play, where the venues say well you know can you put up this video, put up that Facebook, put up... Nowadays it's really like you just can't be a musician alone.

My family was into music. My dad was into music down south. My mom and grandmother were into gospel music so there were all types. That was my inspiration.
