QUOTES

“I started out in New York where everyone is really good. There’s 3 or 4 top music schools in the city and you do have to compete for work or create your own work.”

“I didn’t want to let myself down. I felt there was a lot of expectation to keep succeeding, keep playing music and to somehow manage to progress my career beyond where it was.”

As musicians we like to think we can work anywhere, it is odd to think sometimes you’re prevented from doing that.”
