Music gave me something that was not only good for me - it gave me something to work on, something to be proud of and something that I really loved and have a love for - but also music was good for other people because you put joy into the world.

Running opened up something beautiful in my life. I try to send the energy all over my body. I love the feeling of it.
You teach your kids about your beliefs and tell them what you think is right and the conclusions that you've come to from living in the world, and then they can make their own decisions.
My father was out of my life when I was pretty young - when I was 7 years old, he was gone. I didn't see him for the rest of my childhood.
I got my love of jazz from my stepfather, who was a jazz musician.

I wanted to play in a band, and I wanted to do music for a living, and that's what I dedicated my life to.
I studied chord theory and started playing the piano.
