I knew nothing of the real life of a musician, but I seemed to see myself standing in front of great crowds of people, playing my accordion.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I had a band before I did standup - I've always done music. I got known for being funny, and that's how I make a living - and from acting - but I never stopped playing and producing and recording music.
I consider myself a musician.
Who told you I was a musician?
I loved music - listening and playing - but of course I could not imagine I would be a professional musician. It really happened step by step.
My older brother and myself always played together in bands, but we never knew we would be professional musicians.
Do you know that my very first experience as a composer was a 'Concerto for Accordion?'
I was a musician first before anything.
Yeah, I've always considered myself a musical person.
I went through all the musicians in my life who I admire as bright, intelligent, virtuosic players.
I don't really know any other musicians like me. I grew up backstage with my dad who played in a post-war dance band, so I always feel at home at a venue.
