BizcommunityWhen are you happiest?

When I’m with my family, on stage and in the studio with a talented artist.

BizcommunityWhat does music mean to you?

It’s everything. It’s an emotional escape; a spiritual experience.

BizcommunityWhat do you think of influencers?

It depends. My influences are Stevie Wonder, Prince and Donny Hathaway. They made me want to be great, like them.  But in today’s world that has a whole new meaning. Those are just popular folks on social media and I don’t think they inspire the same feelings in people.
