"Music lives in me.
I am always seeking out a “musical moment,”
that feeling you get when you hear a song
that reflects exactly how you’re feeling,
says what you want to say, and just clicks.
Finding those moments helps me connect with the music.
Sharing those moments helps me connect with others.
Embracing those moments helps me connect with myself."
