As a kid, I would wake up, and there'd be a jazz funeral while I'm walking to school. And when I come home, you can find Rebirth band playing for a birthday party the same day.

I don't know what America would be without New Orleans and the music.

I just play music. That makes my whole day. I can practice and be happy.

It's like drinking water. You have to have water every day, and music is like water for me.

Everything is a learning experience for me.
