The sky is an infinite movie to me. I never get tired of looking at what's happening up there.

Life is so impermanent that it's not about somebody else or things around me, it's about knowing you are completely alone in this world and being content inside.

My voice and the styles and genres I sing all express my appreciation for what I hear.
