Hearing Is A Form Of Touch. You

Apart From Scottish Traditional Music, I Wasn't Really Influenced By Any Kind Of Music. I Just Basically Followed My Own Instincts.

There Are Many Collaborations I'd Like To Explore. One Is To Co-write A Rap Concerto With Eminem.

And As I Grew Older, I Then Auditioned For The Royal Academy Of Music In London, And They Said, Well, No, We Won't Accept You, Because We Haven't A Clue - You Know - Of The Future Of A So-called 'deaf' Musician. And I Just Couldn't Quite Accept That.

Concerts Have To Be Seen As A Real Event For Which The Aim Is To Try And Feed Everybody.

I Just Assumed The World Was Full Of Solo Percussionists. I Couldn't Find Sticks Or Music Or Anything Where I Was, But That Was Expected Because There Was Nothing There Anyway. And I Think That Was Possibly The Greatest Asset For Me, Just Not Knowing.
