"My folks have played everything from rock, disco, pop, funk, and blues. My dad has always brought and played different genres like jazz, classical, and Latin. With all this in my pocket, I feel I have a taste of everything for my influences."

"It's always been a dream of mine to get somewhere and to have my mom and dad with me up there."

"My dad was a musician. He was a singer and he played the guitar, so music was always around."

"You can't sing about love unless you know about it."

"It is jazz music that called me to be a musician and I have always sang the songs that moved me the most."

"These songs are old friends I have entertained myself with when I'm washing the dishes, driving to the store and walking down the aisles. The ones that you sing when you're driving in the car and as a singer you always go back to them."
