Theory And Harmony Broadened My Mind In

My Name Sounds French But That's Just A Stage Name.

It Is Difficult To Retain Your Standards With The Pressure Of Trying To Make Money, Which Always Has Its Rules...it's Hard To Walk The Tightrope Of Doing What You Think Is Your Best And Making Money At It.

When I Was Studying... There Weren't Any Black Concert Pianists. My Choices Were Intuitive, And I Had The Technique To Do It. People Have Heard My Music And Heard The Classic In It, So I Have Become Known As A Black Classical Pianist.

It Doesn't Matter To Me What Is Going On Today Because My Music Encompasses Every Kind Of Mood That Exists In Human Beings. That's My Stick.

Since I Was Three I've Been Playing The Piano. I've Been Onstage. My Mother Is An Evangelist And I Used To Play The Piano At Her Revival Meetings.
