In college I had a weekend gig at a restaurant, a solo thing that was the best practice I could have ever had. That's where I learned to coordinate my singing and my piano playing.
For a young artist to really make it and make money is a lot more difficult these days.
A lot of my music is slow and subtle. The subtly is what I enjoy about making music.
A record is just a snapshot of where you are at any time.
I could do without 'cool' publications calling me 'mom jazz.' But I laughed all the way to the bank, baby.
I'm not a great piano player.
