I Don't Find Much Influence In Opera.

The Greatest Benefit Of Being A Solo Performer Is That It Is Seriously Frightening, But At The Same Time Very Empowering. It's Just You And The Audience. All The Weight Is On You To Deliver The Songs.

And My Music Is Always Such A Release Of What I Feel Inside, An Impulse.

As A Child, I Was Always Making Sound; It Was A Compulsion. I Loved To Scream And Yell And Sing; It Freed Me From All The Thoughts In My Head. I Begged For Opera Lessons Because Opera Singing Is The Most Formidable, Most Emotional Way To Use Your Voice.

My Music Started As A Way To Break Through Weaknesses - Like Anxiety, Which Was Completely Taking Over My Whole Life, Where I Could Barely Function.

The Most Important Thing For Us To Do As Beings Is To Be Aware Of Our Position In The World On A Micro And Macro Level.
