I'm Creating Music - It Doesn't Matter

He Knows I Rip Him Off Every Day. He's The Godfather For Me. Nobody Can Say They Aren't Influenced By What Stevie Wonder Has Done.

For Me Able To Do The Records I Want To Do And Not Have To Worry About This Producer Or That Producer Or That Trend, I'm Not Really Interested In That.

I Just Do What I Do And Hope It's Accepted By The Public At Large. It's Different From When Marvin Gaye And Stevie Revolutionized What Music Was 25 Years Ago. Now There's All This Technology That's Available To Everyone. It's Tough To Be Ahead Of Anyone.

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 Just Want To Be As Creative As I Possibly Can.
