I'm glad I didn't know certain things earlier, because then it wouldn't be any fun.

I see a lot of parents now who are really supporting their kids playing music.

When I began my career, I was constantly referred to as the kid who could play the blues.

Well, I got married about two and a half years ago, and that's been a big change in my life.

I think I'm more influenced, just in general, not by blues artists, but more by stuff from Curtis Mayfield, Stevie Wonder. Stevie Wonder is probably my biggest musical influence of all. And Donny Hathaway.

I wanted to have something that I was proud of and that I knew people would enjoy.

I love all kinds of different music.
