I feel akin to the Platypus. An orphan in a family. A swimmer, a recluse. Part bird, part fish, part lizard.

There's a reason I moved to NYC, and if I listed all the musicians on my list you'd grow weary.

It wasn't until after private lessons and learning bass lines that I even noticed bass in the music I was listening to at that age. My ears were blown wide open.

I don't really know why I chose bass except that it was different than guitar.

But I also like to be in control, like anyone else. I try to achieve a balance.

I have no inflated ideas about success anyway.
