I approach everything in my life the same way; if it feels right, I know it.

The whole rise of new adult contemporary music and smooth jazz was a nice surprise.

Being a purely instrumental album, it makes a musical statement, not a religious one, and I hope that people can feel the emotion of the great melodies, even without the words.

You can't just walk away when somebody recognizes you. You have to take some time out and talk to them. It's not a waste of time - I just love talking to people. And I don't do this to sell records. The truth is, I do what I do because I love it.

If I even lose my glasses or make a mistake. I become really disappointed in myself.

Finally, I was no longer a student and was making music for myself.

I've learned that you simply can't control those bad vibes.
