1]. When you use the term diversity in regards to your environment while you were growing up, what do you mean?
The lack of diversity experienced often in a culture is in perceptions ideals and values. In a small town especially! It was beautiful in ways because my  family was one of the few racially mixed families so people would sometimes try to reach out and embrace something new and different but the peer pressure would pull them back in to conforming to a very segregated way of looking at people and life. I find the same in my music people don't understand why I rock out ;-)

2]. You came to my space November 1, 2004 what kind of response do you feel that you have received there? And do you manage ur own page, posting and messaging etc?
It took a while for me to figure out and embrace myspace the cyber relationship thing evaded me for a while but I warmed up and understood we are all peeps trying to connect, the truth is I only started focusing and working on my page a couple of months ago.

3]. On your bios you refer to touring with bands like Guns & Roses, what are some of the distinct differences that you notice between major and indie label bands, people, music and the biz of it all in general? 
Biz is what you make it just like anything and people are who they are the biggest and most obvious difference between the majors and indies is money and thus exposure that affects individuals and situations but really to me it's either the music biz or music plus business and no matter how you slice it, it is up to the individual to do it thier way.

4]. What is your take on fame and fortune and rock star icons? 
?????

5]. What is the hardest learned lesson that you have overcome in your life?  
To truly let it flow and trust my instincts.

6]. You got to grow up listening and dancing to Motown on the east coast outside of Philadelphia and your band covered "Stevie Nicks, Bad Company, Queen, Heart, The Beatles of course and a lot of Zeppelin" That's a wide range of versatility vocally and musically do you attribute that to your mom and dad and how close are you with your siblings and parents today?
I am very close with my family they have believed in me and supported me even when they didn't get what I was doing they are my rock. I attribute a lot of who I am to them. Musically mom played piano and wrote songs and we always sang in harmony on road trips. Dad had the LP collection and we just heard great stuff all the time way more than the radio.

7]. What has been your most difficult battle and uphill climb in the pursuit of your dreams?
I was offered 3 record deals at the same time based on my songwriting. Production business decision that were not mine messed everything up. I have yet to fully recover but I am almost there...I'm already working on my next album ;-)

8]. Besides music what other art mediums do you enjoy expressing yourself through? Painting, writing? 
Dancing! Yoga, meditation some painting and drawing I appreciate all forms of art and I love experiencing them all

9]. Do you use drugs? Yes or no? How do you feel about drugs?
No an occasional drink only, I have tried some. My take is it is a dangerous habit to have you may have an addictive personality and not even know it...just one time can lead to addiction I have seen it happen...And I have seen drugs destroy lives and families, careers and spirits even pot and alcohol, can lead to a lot of money and time dedicated to being in an altered state...I think altered states can serve a purpose but you have to know what you are doing being real truly is the best I have been my highest being totally in the present and being clear and aware and filled with joy and peace.
