When I
sing, I want to tell a story. Although rhythmic concepts, melodic
techniques, and chord changes are important, when people listen to a
singer, they want to be moved. They want to be touched. They want to
journey to those places within themselves that are not easy to reach, on
an ordinary day. My goal is to reach those places, and to bond with
the listener in a mutual acknowledgement of the commonality of human
feeling. Jazzmusic, which finds its ultimate roots in the blues, is a
music which grabs the emotion, stirs the intellect, causes intense
reflection, makes your foot tap, and more often than not, just makes you
feel really happy. My fervent wish is that when you hear my music, you
remember yourself.
