"New Orleans is unlike any other place. It’s always growing in some way, shape, or form. When music is in any new age, New Orleans stands the test. It’s a place where the music lives in the streets, in the buildings, on the rooftops, and anywhere you can find people. That has always been the case. Now, people know that if the whole world dried up of its musical well, New Orleans would be the one place guaranteed to fulfill that thirst. They’ll always know…

"To be a Blueswoman, you have to work that much harder than a man, in my opinion. You must stand out that much more. There are far more opportunities for men in the music industry so a woman often times must create her own. This is true going back in history not only in the music industry but in all sectors of life."

"New Orleans music has the deepest roots of all American music. The grooves there are derived from generations passed, sometimes refined, sometimes raw, always grooving. It’s the origin of so much modern music, from rock-n-roll to blues to jazz, and often all mashed together in the same song. There is a looseness, freedom, uninhibited vibe to the whole city, and it shows in the music."

"The music industry is squeezing the last drops out of its old business model. It operates on a profit motive and doesn't feel obligated to promote music as music; it's content to promote it in the same way it promotes laundry detergent. It won't adapt until it sees that a grassroots movement coming from a music-starved audience can be profitable."

"I believe that blues is way of opening your soul and sharing your feelings, nowadays we all have some blues within us, maybe not like the olden days but in one way or another we all unfortunately has daily issues, especially in these last few years with the co-vid. Blues is a way to share these worries, thoughts and help get through these hard times. I would like music to affect people by connecting them and hopefully increase the respect between people…

"Music is such a powerful language which transcends all communication barriers. If used correctly it can influence vast amounts of people by delivering the message you want. You have to be careful in what you imply because the result might not be what you intended. Many have been irresponsible in their choice of message, and many have been spot on. I personally want my music to uplift and or impart the truth as it is and help raise the consciousness of the…

"Sometimes we need a sonic game plan for liberation. As long as the music is making you think/ recharge/ participate in your own experience a bit fuller than you imagined--then it's working. We have a responsibility to give the best versions of ourselves in that moment, as listeners and artists, and then to move and change. We want this album to be a testament to trust, open hearts, care and experimentation. Seeing the beauty in the flawed and unexpected…

"My feeling is that the Blues should make people aware of the oppression and inequalities that people suffered in the past, and still do to this day. These are the things that gave birth to this music and should be talked about in an open and honest manner and we should be working for solutions and not brushing these issues under the carpet..."
