I Was Probably Six Years Old When

Most Of The Stuff I Learned To Play, I Learned In High School. I Had A Band In High School, A Jazz-fusion Thing, And I Was The Keyboard Player. I Was Interested In How The Instruments Worked And The Theory Behind Playing With Them.

I've Been A Jazz Artist Playing Pop And R&b My Entire Career.

I Am At My Core A Singer/songwriter A La James Taylor Or A La Billy Joel. It's Not That I Don't Want To Work With People, But I Do Just Love Doing My Own Thing.

I Watch My Contemporaries, And They Love To Live In The Studio And I Don't. I Have A Life. I Treat It As A 9-to-5. I Try To Create Something New Every Day, And Then I Get On With My Life.
