There are a few countries that, for whatever reason, really enjoy listening to my music.
When I play live, I feel how the audience is going and follow and lead at the same time.
I think everybody has to kind of decide what the word 'jazz' means to them, and that's fine.
It wasn't until Duotones that I felt my true voice come out.
The whole rise of new adult contemporary music and smooth jazz was a nice surprise.
I just started as a part of the public school music program. I took lessons at the school every Friday and was a part of the school band. I was just a normal kid taking instrumental lessons at school, nothing special.
