I'm not a great piano player.

It's funny how you realize what's important, and it's not fame and money, even though it can be really nice. It's happiness and whatever it takes to make you feel happy.

I think playing music is one of my great joys in life.

I'm happy. I feel good about music.

I had success early on where I'm able to try to keep it fun, and I don't have to do things just for the sake of making a living, which a lot of my musician friends don't have that luxury of course.

Songwriting is something I really need to work on. I don't have very many songs but I really love it. I would love to be a great song writer some day.

In college I had a weekend gig at a restaurant, a solo thing that was the best practice I could have ever had. That's where I learned to coordinate my singing and my piano playing.
