My father was a classical pianist, and my mother was a singer of just about everything.
There was a point after the whole intensity of the Clash finally subsided when I just found that painting grounded me in a way that music didn't.
At the age of 16, something happened with my finger and the doctor told me, you never can be a organist or pianist, so think about what you do with music.
The people who raised me musically are my mother, who is a classically trained pianist, and my stepfather.
I'm deeply, deeply passionate about creating peace and well-being in the classroom, and well-being as a global nation.
Musical composition, about which I know little, is a complicated art, and some contemporary music may be the equivalent of a complex abstract painting.
Writing songs is about trying to connect with people on a deeper spiritual level - but I'm not a fan of contemporary Christian music.
Ideas are cheap. Always be passionate about ideas and communicating those ideas and discoveries to others in the things you make.
I've always said that if you can get the best people who are good at what they do, but more importantly are passionate about what they do, you'll succeed.
