I was just studying with my father, a very difficult task for me since he was a great, great Qawwali singer.
There's something great about all your worst fears coming true and being said about you. There's a tremendous liberation on some level.
I love jazz and pop rock and country. I grew up listening to Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Def Leppard, AC/DC, Anne Murray - if I hear something really great... I want to be a part of it.
