I'm from California, and still live in LA.

I constantly tour, even when I don't have a record out.

I just really always try to do what's in my heart and I'm still passionate about the music; I still love what I am doing.

I still have a passion for the music, which is such a beautiful thing. I still wake up in the middle of the night out of a dream and have a melody in my head, and run to my piano.

It's just a whole different thing, and it's just that my life has been a blessing, and I thank god every day for the gifts that he has given me and for my daughter and to be able to watch her grow and be a part of her joys and her excitement and what she wants to do in life.

My first album came out in 1979.

I play guitar, piano, bass and percussion.
