Episode Highlights

3:39 I enjoy the creative concepts, putting all the things together and the finished product. When people leave and they say they had a great time, that makes it all worthwhile. 

5:39 We’re inspired by the people that we listen to. We study people that really move us and we hope that someday we establish our own sound, our own identity. 

7:25 So when I went to my first fine arts camp on a scholarship, that's where I really learned about the traditional jazz cats. 

10:27 I just took from my experience and started writing from the heart and from all around me which is a fun creative process. 

17:00 At the end of the day, we want to be out sharing our music, performing the music that we write in the studio for the people. 

32:01 I always find creative ways to enjoy the time, the downtime. Spend time with family and friends.
