1. For many artists, they cite a defining moment for themselves when they knew they wanted to be a singer. For many it was the appearance of Elvis on the Ed Sullivan show, to another generation it was the Beatles’ appearance on Sullivan half a decade later. Is there such a defining moment for you?
Actually….No. There’s no defining moment. Music has always been there for me.The bottom line….This is the only job I’ve never quit, even when I wanted to.
2. When you’re not creating music what are you listening to? Who are some of your favorites?
Well…..Here’s what I listened to today… Stevie Wonder. Earth, Wind & Fire. Jude Cole. Kings of Leon. And the “Across The Universe” Soundtrack.
3. What would you say is your greatest moment so far as an artist, either on record or live?
Survival. Every day is a challenge…..Every day offers another opportunity.
4. Do you believe music can change the world or is just something to listen to? How much can music influence current events?
Yes…I don’t believe it can change the world…I know it can. As to how….thats up to a mans heart, and his intentions.
5. How has technology affected the music industry? How has technology affected your career as a musician?
Well…I’m broke….that explains a lot of it. The upside….it allows for NEW ideas to change the way things used to be done. Its time to focus on our individual cause, not the industry. Art was never intended for the industry’s validation….and I love that technology can make or break us….we live in a time when good decision making is crucial….and I love the challenge!
6. Now for my Barbara Walters question: If you were a pair of shoes what type of shoes would you be?
Boots. With good soles!
