Some artists are bound to an image: Bob Marley has dreadlocks, Matisyahu has a beard. But that's a reminder that the whole thing is not about style. It's about music.

What blows me away most is how sure people are of themselves.

For me now, what I've come to is, we don't know anything.

I am reclaiming myself. Trusting my goodness and my divine mission.

The beauty of life is not knowing.

I started performing at home as a kid putting on shows and lip-syncing Michael Jackson for the grown-ups. Then, in musicals and plays in school. At 17, I was performing in coffee shops and in parking lots at Phish shows. At 18, I had a band that played local shows in the Northwest.

Music has always been such an amazing tool for me to access self and emotion.
