I learned from my father that music is from God and the message is from God.
Music has that ability to be a magical thing, and I was like, maybe music is the vehicle that transports us to that other world.
When I came back to America, I realized that world music is no joke, it really has a lot to it.
Most of my music is improvisation, and composition is improvisation. Even if I have a score, it is improvisation.
Music is like my security blanket. The first medium that I learned was music.
Music is something that even when you close your eyes it gets into your body.

My music is always called "cerebral." It is a way of saying I'm Asian, and therefore everything I do is brainy.

My music is just as much me as it is everybody else.
