Write your best thing, not the best thing
Using music as a force for good is extremely important, especially given the current state of the world—for example, doing benefit concerts to help a charitable cause or non-profit organization.
To write something that is unique means you can’t fulfil anyone’s expectations, which takes bravery, and thinking independently.
I personally feel that true success is when you stop trying to impress anyone and continue to develop and grow for the right reasons.
Work hard, dig in and great things will happen
The music I perform best is often the music that I am the most connected with; whether that be pieces I have arranged or transcribed or worked on with a composer.
