There’s a very deep connection among human beings. All we have to do is open our minds to it.

It’s a cliché - but true - that life is not a dress rehearsal. You get to do it once, so do it well.

Of all the forces that are exerted on us over our lifetime, at least for me, love has been the most powerful of all.

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.

Music is like creating an emotional painting. The sounds are the colors.

As I understand life at different levels, I can use music to express what these levels feel like to me. Hopefully the listener can be transported to this understanding by listening to the music.

I know that our world is going through a very difficult time right now, but I will never lose my faith in humanity, and our incredible ability to overcome just about anything.
