People Who Try To Define Their Spirituality

If You're Gonna Live, Then Live It Up. If You're Gonna Give, Then Give It Up. If You're Gonna Walk The Earth, Then Walk It Proud. If You're Gonna Say The Word, You Got To Say It Loud.

I Grew Up With The Blind Boys' Music. My Family Owns A Music Store In Claremont, California, Called The Claremont Folk Music Center. I Grew Up With A Heavy Diet Of Gospel, Folk, And Blues Because Those Are Kind Of The Cornerstones Of Traditional American Music.

It Was A Huge Deal, A Huge Musical Discovery That Became Life Lessons Learned. You Can't Return From Having An Experience Like That. The Blind Boys Are Truly The Deepest Well Of American Musical Heritage You Can Discover.

If I Fall, I Fall. I'll Rise Up Like Anybody Else.

The Advice I Have For New Artists Is This - Write Great Songs And Play Them Live As Often As Possible. Get Residencies All Over Town And Crush It.
