I started playing piano with a little band in high school. I was terrible. I thought I had absolutely no talent. I couldn't keep time. I only got into McGill, which was a lousy music school, because they were taking American music students.

I started off as a studio pianist in Hollywood.

In college I had a weekend gig at a restaurant, a solo thing that was the best practice I could have ever had. That's where I learned to coordinate my singing and my piano playing.

I played piano, flute, and guitar.

I had sort of exhausted all the avenues playing in Detroit. So again, through the stewardship of my brother, I ended up in California and went to the Musicians Institute in L.A. I wanted to get better as a player.

And I've played piano since I was little, so I was originally the piano player in the band.

I was a piano player. I love piano playing. I just love all music.

I played piano, I learned a lot about music.

I grew up playing classical piano and percussion.

I'm a pianist - I studied jazz piano in college.
