I always wanted to play music and have it be my career and knew this by the age of 12

I just hope I'm remembered as a good blues musician.

I started playing ukulele first for 2 years from age 9 to 11 and got my first guitar and got inspired by blues I heard on the radio that turned me on and I started learning myself.

I think it will always be around it just takes one person to make people aware of the blues.

I think about legacy a lot, hopefully at the end of the day they say I was a good bluesman. That's all I want.

I love playing guitar. It's the only thing I've ever really been great at.

There were a whole lot, I bought every blues record I could find, it wasn't just one or two people. My vocal influences were Ray Charles and Bobby Blue Bland.
