“Maybe it's the ultimate antidote to hate, the breaker of barriers, the essence of life.”

“Just my two cents... but if music connects people regardless of culture, background, race, religion or beliefs, then maybe it's something core to humanity. Maybe it's the ultimate antidote to hate, the breaker of barriers, the essence of life. If one is called to make music, it's an existential obligation to follow that calling. I make music because I love it, I enjoy it, sure. But also because I have no other choice. Music rages inside of me like an agitated tiger trapped in a cage and I have a duty to release it, to free it, to share it.”
