I never studied jazz technically; I just know and love the music.

Making music is a lifestyle; go to the studio and sit in front of your computer, drum machine or guitar for 10 hours a day. The good stuff will come.

I used to be a serious sneaker addict, but I've moved on a little bit from those days.
