I believe that having an open mind is one of the most important qualities we can possess. Once our minds close, we stop evolving.

My goal is to connect with people emotionally. I take life’s experiences and translate them into music — music that hopefully creates an impact on the listener.

The studio work that I do allows me to connect with people around the world. You can't perform live for everyone, so having the ability to share my creative vision with others is very important to me as well.

If you are a professional, the speed with which you react to a potential problem separates the men from the boys.

Maybe we didn't have many possessions, but we never went hungry, were cold, or lacked love.

You do good work for a long-enough time, I believed, and you'd get noticed.

The live concerts are everything and I’m very grateful that most of my career, I’m a live artist, I’ve been doing this. So I’ve traveled quite a lot, played in - I never stopped playing.
