"The balance between technique and soul is an important component of the blues. You have to have technique to execute the performance and you have to have soul for the music to be felt.

"Music and art are always moving. The artists who created the blues of the past lived very different lives from those today. It is truly mind blowing this awesome music that came out of such hard times, deprivation, struggle, racism, and so on. WOW. One of America's greatest art forms was created by people who were among most overlooked, oppressed, discriminated against and terrorized. I think blues music is so powerful in it's power to transcend,…

"A lot of songs can be inspired by social or current events. I want music to be something that takes the listener back to a familiar place or person, when they hear that song or music again."

“I don't think it's worthwhile to dwell on the past; any fear I have for the future of music would be the same as my fear for the future of the whole world. As long as there are people who have the chance, there will be music.”

«Τα Μπλουζ είναι, όπως την ορίζει ο Willie Dixon, τα γεγονότα της ζωής. Ορίζεται επίσης, όπως την αποκαλεί ο Willie, η μπλουζ ως οι ρίζες. Όλη η υπόλοιπη αμερικανική μουσική είναι ο καρπός. Αλλά για μένα, έχει μια πολύ προσωπική, σημαντική σημασία επειδή είναι αφροαμερικανική λαϊκή μουσική.»

"It is about having your health. Feeling good and your body working well enough to make music. Music is very physical, takes a lot to play and instrument and sing. Life can be a struggle and people use drugs, liquor and bad relationships to cope. That stuff just breaks you down and you can't go on. Your music and voice is not as good if you do not take care of yourself."

“Theres a brotherhood in the blues that reaches around the world. Its a language that we all speak, some places have a different take on it. Seeing how far it has reached, attention and detail it gets. I like being able to speak this language and share this with people.”
