Meet the Act
I'm not a difficult person to work with. You know as pianists we're expected to be serious and reserved and stuff like that, but I have fun every time I'm in front of people and on the piano. I mean it's all about giving the audience a memorable experience and going on a journey without having to go somewhere, right. That's what music is all about.
I like to engage with the audience. Sometimes I'd write a song or freestyle a song on the spot for the audience or for the host of the event. That creates that crazy bond relationship with both the audience and the host.
I like laughing, and i
... f I'm not laughing, I'm smiling ☺. I'm a Christian. That alone helps me to respect and love everyone for who they are.
I'm currently creating a brand called Speech Music. Hopefully it will grow into a recording studio and a record label company. As much as we're going through different experiences and similar ones, harsh and nice, music can bring the world together, neighbor or stranger.
