"It's pretty exciting when you can spread your music to other genres."

"You don't know until you try and I'm always willing to try it.  And, if I get a Yes, that's fantastic but if I get a No then I know I gotta go another direction, but I don't give up, though.  Never."

"College (radio stations) is pretty cool because they have all kinds of genres and you'll find your avenue.  And then I kind of test it out with one song and I'll see where it goes and then I move up... to medium radio and then you go up the higher slots of radio and you test it out that way and you see where your audience is landing."

"Sometimes us creative artists, we get into the mode of creating and forget there's a business side.  And then we have our product and then we don't know what to do with it.  We don't know which avenue to go to."

"It doesn't matter where I'm performing, if I'm performing for two people or if I'm performing for 500 people, I just go in there and try to give my hundred percent in there no matter who they are."

"I used to do albums and I decided the middle of last year that I'm just gonna be doing singles only.  And, it's because people used to buy full albums, but they don't do that anymore."

"You have studio musicians and they're really great and then you have your live bands and each one does a different thing... Sometimes a lot of the studio musicians can't play live, they just don't feel comfortable playing live.  They like to be in the studio.  And when you're up there on-stage representing your song you need those special live players who are very unique and can go out there and sell that song."

"In this industry not everybody could be a star...  But you have to find where you belong... And then once you find that path, go with it because that's when it all happens."
