Someone told me there was a publisher that could find a good home for my songs, but I didn't want to give up my pursuit of a career in the business as an artist

I was blown away by the control and the range that I was hearing. I'm listening to Pavarotti and thinking, What the hell have I been doing with my voice all these years?

I'm pretty irreverent. There is a lot of need to find humour in life. Although I'd never be as disrespectful to laugh at someone's expense.

It's understanding the intention of a composer that allows a producer and an arranger to make those moments speak

When I started studying for the arias it was like going into training for a heavyweight title fight

When you have great songs that are going to live longer than the composers, everything you can do to bring those different elements and nuances out, serve the song

It's an important thing to remember where you came from.
