When I began my career, I was constantly referred to as the kid who could play the blues.
I always knew I wanted to be a musician.
I've probably gone a month or two without playing guitar, just because I've gotten so burnt on it touring all year or whatever.
I feel so blessed, and God has been so good to me.
I wanted to have something that I was proud of and that I knew people would enjoy.
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.
