- What do you love about music and performing? I love the catharsis of sharing my words and music with the world, audiences big and small. I live for connecting with the energy and creativity of real live musicians. There is nothing like the experience of making music with virtuosic players that have devoted their lives to the art of groove and improvisation.
- Who are your biggest music inspirations and dream collaborators? I am inspired by so many artists, but probably biggest musical inspirations are Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, John Mayer, Rachelle Ferrell, Jewel, Aretha Franklin, Erykah Badu, Sting, Michael Jackson, Marcus Miller, Roy Hargrove, and Tower of Power. It would be a dream to collaborate with producers like Marcus Miller, Steve Jordan, Walter Afanasieff, and Quincy Jones.
- What makes you the Next Music Star? I am committed to baring my soul with my music. I've devoted my life to my art.
- What would you do with the $10,000? I would love to invest the $10,000 in getting more of my music recorded and some promotional material... but, I'd probably have to use it for bills! LOL since I'm a starving musician!
