I really like jazz and soul, but I also love so many other types of music, and I didn't want to be afraid to blend and experiment.

I'm interested in a lot of different sounds and types of music.

I love many kinds of music: world music, jazz, classical, pop.

I listen to a mixture of old jazz, contemporary, pop, some world beat stuff and various odds and ends.

If it comes out sounding like Dixieland jazz or classical or punk or rock or even slightly metal, that's because that's where I'm going to find inspiration.

Jazz music by its very nature is just a conglomerate of a lot of different kinds of music.

I like all kinds of music, though I tend to prefer jazz and classics.

I don't want to make niche-oriented music.

I don't want to sound as if I'm doing something tremendously special. But I am a jazz fan.
