Music is still part of my spiritual life. Sometimes I sing my prayers. When I get audiences singing, I hope I'm helping them feel connected to something beyond themselves.

Improvisation is the courage to move from one note to the next.
Bobby McFerrin

Improvisation means coming to the situation without rigid expectations or preconceptions. The key to improvisation is motion — you keep going forward, fearful or not, living from moment to moment. That’s how life is.

Whenever I'm onstage, I try my best not to think that I'm performing. It's simply another part of my day.

I have a lot of albums yet to do.

When I'm on stage by myself, I don't have to think about anything. I don't have to worry about anything because I'm not responsible for anything except just opening my mouth and making sure music comes out.

The true musician is to bring light into people's hearts.

Musicians are the architects of heaven.

In every life we have some trouble, but when you worry you make it double. Don't worry. Be happy.

I don't want anything to get in the way of me and my singing. I want my mind as clear as possible.

Sometimes mistakes are the best thing that can happen, because they might lift you...out of your complacency, and open your mind up to a whole other area that you wouldn't have gone to intentionally.

Inviting audiences to open up and hear things differently is an important part of what I do. But I still love to sing songs with words, too.

I grew up in a time when being a musician and learning to be a musician was actually very wonderful.
Bobby McFerrin
Image
It's not that I don't love the song. My songs are like my children: some you want around and some you want to send off to college as soon as possible.

Well, I started conducting kind of by accident. I wanted to give myself a special birthday present for my fortieth birthday, and I was living in San Francisco at the time and I started attending some of the concerts and then simply dropping hints.

I played piano as a kid I still play a little bit.

I couldn't do anything without faith. I couldn't open up my eyes, I couldn't walk, I couldn't speak, I couldn't sing.

Image
I do a lot of performing, but don't get a chance to go to the studio and write good music.
Bobby McFerrin
Image
I think play and joy and feeling good deserve more of our time. I don't see why adults are supposed to grow out of those things. If I have a mission it's to make everyone who comes to my concerts leave feeling a heightened sense of freedom to play, sing, and enjoy themselves.

Then I came up with this crazy idea just to walk out on the stage with no band at all and just start singing whatever came to mind. I actually fought the idea for a while because it seemed almost too radical, but it became obvious what I was supposed to be doing.
