My music is about the journey, about love and the human experience.

My music has a very spiritual background, a sanctity that is almost like worship.

The kind of music I'm trying to make is conscious, to make people think and feel and get inspired.

I think of a band like Animal Collective where they really follow their own sound and I think that's a really important thing to do. You can find an audience if you can find your voice.

My music is part of the quest I have to find new ways of telling stories, and also, I want to inspire people.

I'm always looking for ways to develop as an artist, especially as a jazz artist-to find different ways of testing my voice.

My voice is a combination of how I grew up and what I was listening to growing up. I like a lot of different kinds of music and am always being inspired in different ways by different artists for different reasons.

My son is very into music and really familiar with my voice.

I am very much into voices. I would say I'm a fan of voices, not of sound. I'm a fan of singers, not of bands.

A lot of music fans are still interested in insightful perspectives on music - maybe even more interested than ever, since everyone needs help making sense of the incredible variety of sounds that have sprung up in the wake of the Internet revolution. There's a lot of room for unique, qualified voices who can provide good reads.
