Interview:
Music allows a person to express their deepest thoughts, thoughts that cannot be expressed with just words. I am often asked how I begin a song or develop a melody from nothing. That is the spiritual aspect of creating. Finding something deep within yourself that can only be created by you. Whenever a person asks me about how they can have a career as a musician, I always tell them to develop their compositional skills. Develop something that can only come from you, and you will develop something that is unique in itself. No one else can create it as you can, and therefore you will be in demand and special. Your spiritual self cannot be copied and that’s why it’s so significant in life and music.
“Your spiritual self cannot be copied and that’s why it’s so significant in life and music.”
