I Try To Practice With My Life.

My Father Was Really Good With Math. It's A Funny Thing, I Don't Remember My Father Or My Mother Being So Mechanical-minded. My Father Always Wanted To Be A Doctor, But He Came From A Really Poor Family In Georgia, And There Was No Way He Was Going To Be A Doctor.

Forget About Trying To Compete With Someone Else. Create Your Own Pathway. Create Your Own New Vision.

I Don't Go Around, The Way Many Musicians Do, With Earbuds In My Ear Listening To My Ipod All Day And Just Sticking My Head In The Music All The Time.

Miles' Sessions Were Not Typical Of Anybody Else's Sessions. They Were Totally Unique.

Fact Is That I Played Piano And Performed, As A Young Kid, A Mozart Piano Concerto With The Chicago Symphony Orchestra . Don't Forget I Was Only Eleven-years-old And To Be On The Stage At That Age Had Tremendous Impact On Me. Basically Love For Classical Music And Performing As A Kid On The Big Stage Probably Led Toward This Decision, Which Meant That Music Is Going To Be My Big Love But Also My Profession.
