There's a lot of really talented people in Utah, people who would really make an effort to make the music the best that it could be and as emotional as it could be.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I enjoyed my time in Utah. It was a different area to what I was used to. The people there were very nice and it was a great organization and city. I have only good things to say about Utah.
There's all these musicians in the world, and anybody that takes enough time to create a record or even think about the fantasy of rock & roll, it's a vulnerable place to be in, it's a huge thing to do.
As long as there are people trying to play music in a sincere way, there will be some jazz.
I always used to say I'm definitely not a straight-ahead jazz singer, because then there's people who would hear what I do and say, 'Is it jazz? I don't know...' Whatever it is, it really comes down to creating music that makes people feel something.
I still feel Mormon. Those men in Salt Lake City can't decide who's Mormon and who isn't.
I'm treating country music like it's a sport. I'm looking at where my competition is and realized I needed to work on my songwriting.
What is nice about country music today is that most artists are not trying to do something everybody else is doing. They really are trying to develop their own uniqueness.
The music scene is more competitive in the States.
That's the thing: There are so many art songs in jazz. It's a much more rich experience for the singer than people think.
We are serious about our music here in Philadelphia, and jazz has meant a lot to this city.
