Jazz musician based in Texas, currently on a year-long world tour that started in the Netherlands in January and in the second half of 2019 – amidst various U.S. dates – goes to Japan, Finland, Thailand, Australia, Canada, the UK, France, and Germany. Although he occasionally plays guitar, he is a saxophonist who has released three albums, plus he has released a couple singles, including one this past Christmas.
"When I record in the studio, sometimes I like to use charts, sometimes I don't, because I want my musicians and my band members to have fun with it. I want them to enjoy themselves... When we go in the studio and it's, like, unscripted, it's not so structured, everyone's just having fun just putting in their own ideas."
"I always called myself an iTunes jukebox, so to speak, because I know just about every song."
"I just kind of just meet the fans, which is something I love to do, I like making new friends. I never look at 'em as just fans of music, I always look at 'em as friends."
"Your listeners out there too that are trying to get to the next level, here's how you do it. You simply rent a venue and you sell the tickets. It's just that easy."
"It can be one thing to look for investors, but if you're looking for someone to come and save you and build your career, that's not, you're going to have to do that... No one can pave the way for yourself. You have to do it. You have to do the groundwork yourself, period."
"Don't be afraid to spend your money... We all have priorities... We all have bills. You're gonna have bills the rest of your life... Stop making excuses. Reach in your pocket, spend the money. You're spending money on everything else! You get a beer. You get wine. You go out and drink with your friends... You gotta make these sacrifices."
"Money is the biggest thing - one of the biggest things - that comes with people that want to make it. They're afraid to spend their own money on themselves, so that's why they go and find someone else to do it for them. Who really wants to invest in you when you won't spend the money on yourself?"
"How bad do you want it? When you book yourself, book it kind of like when you go to another concert. You put it together."
