Singing is my profession - there is no plan B.
My ambition when I started out was to play two or three gigs a week. And that's what I'm doing.
I just like any music to swing, no matter what it is.
The blues - there's no black and white - it's the truth.
I don't think nostalgia has to be negative.
The idea [of A Period of Transition album] was to get a break from everything for a while because I've been doing it for so long. I started doing it when I was 12.
