I write arrangements. I'm sort of a wannabe composer.

The kind of music or the kind of arrangements that I do, the kind of musicians I choose, is just what I like to hear.

I sort of enjoy being able to hear what other composers are doing and how they might score something differently than me. I enjoy that part.

As a composer, I'm basically trying to represent myself through my music in an honest way.

I am not so complicated or intelligent a composer, nor am I very interested in becoming so. I am much more happy doing what I know I can do than what I am not sure I could do.

I consider myself a composer.

It's like a whole orchestra, the piano for me.

I'm a composer, man.

I love putting the music together. It's like art.

With the Rhythm Kings, I can involve myself in arranging and producing the music as well as the choice of songs.
