My voice is an instrument.

Voice is my instrument.

I use my voice as an instrument.

I am a self-taught guitarist. I just try to piece together passages that have some melodic value!

I listened to classical guitar and Spanish guitar, as well as jazz guitar players, rock and roll and blues. All of it. I did the same thing with my voice.

I always enjoy rhythms and melodies, but I always use my voice as more of an instrument and less of a soapbox for me to say or to preach.

While most of the music I write is instrumental, I love to use the human voice as another instrument.

But my role is to just apply the skills I've learned over the years: you listen to the guitar, you listen to the vocal melodies, you listen to the rhythm, and you come up with something that helps you take the song somewhere.

And I had not much of a voice. I didn't play that great guitar either.
