When you’re not in the studio where can we find you?
At an airport! I'm always goin somewhere... When I'm in LA i'm still learning the city, but when I'm in NY I'm all over the place.
What’s something you can’t live without backstage?
Can't live without water backstage...I'm wanted to give some rockstar crazy answer but the truth is: WATER, the fluid of life, is my one basic necessity. I would love to one day have a piano backstage and gorgeous man in boxer briefs with massage oils, but in the meantime, water!...and a vanity ;)
What musicians have influenced you over your career?
First and foremost, my mother! After that Lauren Hill has been very influential, and a lot of male artists like Maxwell, Marvin, Stevie, Prince...And I've had the luck and honor of having up close and personal experiences with Ms. Roberta Flack, Macy Gray, Joss Stone and N'dea Davenport, each of whom have taught many many things over the years.
If you weren’t a musician, what would you be now?
Hmmmmm well i wonder if that's possible even?? I would maybe be teaching, I actually got hired as an assistant math teacher when I was in college. I'm really good at math and science. I find physics fascinating soooo maybe i'd be doing something in that industry? or maybe I would be the owner of a titty bar chain called the "Honey House"....Well that might still actually happen! LOL (Name copyrighted 2009-patent pending, don't try and jack me fool)
Can you cook?
Yeah I can cook, but bachalorette style. I'm the queen of the foreman grill and the rice cooker. I like having food ready already, I don't like to wait for it when I want it. I love leftovers. I make a MEAN spaghetti, and a mean vegetarian chili. Those are always good ever-ready meals you can make once and eat 3 or 4 times. Me likey :)
