Music is a performance and needs the audience.

I want the audience to be so involved in the sweep of the music.

Bear in mind that you are not making music for your own pleasure, but for the pleasure of your audience.

You have to be willing to deal with the ups and downs of the music, the ups and downs of the audience.

If I have an audience, I'd like to make music for my whole life. But it's not really up to me.

You make your music, then you try to find whatever audience is out there for it.

I've had to keep exploring different ways of presenting the music so I don't repeat myself.

I have to remind myself constantly that people actually want to hear the music I've made; that's hard for me to digest. I think a live audience is the only tangible evidence you can have that your work is making an impact. It's really humbling.

My music is not just about entertainment. It is about enlightenment also.

I find a lot of up-and-coming musicians I enjoy, present them to my viewers - and hopefully inflate the growth of these artists by putting them in front an audience that wouldn't have been aware of them.
