Early on in my career, I was more closed off in every way. I thought I was protecting myself instead, I was robbing myself of all I could learn and experience.

When I'm on stage, my interaction with the audience is something that really makes me come alive. It's a feeling like no other. The energy of the crowd fuels something new inside.

It's not until I hear songs that I've done, that I realize how much of an inspiration music from the '60s and '70s has been.
