Maybe I'm genetically more inclined to music - but the music I make is so far removed from Indian classical music. I grew up in Texas!

If I make a record I love, then somebody will like it. Maybe not everybody, but that won't matter.

I had very modest expectations when I first moved to New York. I didn't even expect to get a record deal.

For me making music is part social, part interaction, part collaboration.

My first two records are so simply constructed. The reason isn't because I wanted to make simple music. It's because I don't really have the chops.

There was an enormous amount of pressure when my first album took off, and I struggled with the speed of everything and the exhaustion from the constant touring.

Your limitations create your sound.
