Who I am musically I hope will just keep changing and changing.

I feel so blessed, and God has been so good to me.

Some of my influences are black gospel artists so I definitely want to do a soul-gospel type thing.

I think you have to know exactly what you want. Whether you want to be a guitar player or a musician, you have to be really focused on it if you really want to do it.

My parents had a huge pile of records - vinyl! - that I loved, especially the Motown stuff, Steely Dan, Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding.

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

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