“It is important that you try to get something that is permanent but you move fluently through the music community so that you can see what those opportunities are.”
“I think musicians find that out more and more as they get older because when you start to diversify, your time starts to dwindle so it’s very important that you take the time to balance out your schedule.”
“Really and truly an artist or a musician should follow their heart. You wanna get somewhere that should be your destination but you should examine the different types of avenue and roads that you can take to do that. So, it’s important that you recognize how important it is to serve others as well.”
“Not everybody might agree with this but every musician has some insecurities know matter what level they're at. I try to get to the bottom of those so I can know how to deal with those types of people.”
“The real tightness happens on the road. That’s where you get your reps.”
“Become what you want to attract when it comes to musicians. Make sure you look in the mirror.”
“Once again you have to realize that once it becomes a chore you’re not in the zone, you’re not really enjoying it. It’s a privilege to play so keep that in mind. A good mindset is going to lead to a good gig and good performances.”
