This question was recently asked me in an interview over the weekend. Quite simply, music has been the drive behind my existence. Within this sometimes mundane life, I find that one of the only ways to reveal my individuality and ability to be human is through the expression of art and love. Although the themes of my songs differ in relation to the view of reality which I currently experience (Home from Home, 1984, Revolution of Peace etc…), I find that I am consistently focused on the idea that life can be worthwhile and that our existence is not meaningless if we express some sense of identity. This is why I play music.
Thanks to everyone who has continued to support my music. I cannot wait to see where my path as a musician will go, but I am quite confident that it is moving in the right direction as I am determined to go far.
