My mom is a singer and my Dad introduced me to bands such as Zeppelin and the Stones so music has always played a huge part in my life.

I have always been into music ever since I was a kid.

For some reason when I decide to pursue something, I never have any fear that it won't happen. I think it's just ingrained in my brain. Which I guess is a great advantage.

Two quiet people are not very fun together.

I am always a big believer that if you work hard enough and you work out of passion, a person can do anything.

All of my favorite songs can bring me to tears. Some are rock, some are blues, some are love ballads. That's why I play music - to touch other people as I have been touched.

It's very rare that you get a group of people who are all passionate and driven and all get along.
