I was always a very good student.

We sing with the entire body. The sounds that we make emanate not just from the head, but from the whole heart and soul, and, most important, the gut.

My parents discussed singing every night over the dinner table; I had a tremendous music education.

I was always a very good student.

I'm reserved, so I've always needed to find a way of opening up. Jazz helped me do that.

I'm not a reactionary.
