As an artist, I feel so fortunate to be able to learn from all these great musicians that came before me, when some people have nobody that came before them.

I felt I had an opportunity to follow in the footsteps of great soul musicians of the past, who made a lot of social and political commentary through their music.

I knew nothing of the real life of a musician, but I seemed to see myself standing in front of great crowds of people, playing my accordion.

I'm quite an eclectic musician.

I consider myself a musician.

My parents were opera singers and voice teachers, so growing up, I admired musicians and dancers.

I've always enjoyed the enthusiasm of the best studio musicians and, over the years, have collected so many inspired contributions from them.

I came from a huge extended family of musicians.

The only thing I have ever really cared to be known as is a musician.

I love musicians. I think artists are the most amazing people because they're constantly creating beauty for the world. With all the crazy stuff going on in the world, then there's artists reminding us of our humanity and reminding us of our heart and soul and what really matters.
