I Sing Because I’ve Forgotten How To

I Like To Jump Some Rope And Swing Kettle Bells To Get My Blood Pumping. It Makes My Voice Sound Better, And It Clears My Head.

New Orleans Is My Essence, My Soul, My Muse...

I Live In Connecticut, But Eventually I'd Like To Move Back To New Orleans. I Grew Up There; The Pace Is A Bit Slower. Plus, I Love Crawfish And Po'boys.

[my Mother Is] A Half-chinese, Half-jamaican Woman, Who Grew Up The Ninth Of Nine Kids, Getting A Law Degree From Harvard. Academically Brilliant, But Also Incredibly Strong-willed And Ethical. My Mother Was Like That, My Sister Is, And My Wife Is Too.

My Dad Was The District Attorney Of New Orleans For About 30 Years. And When He Opened His Campaign Headquarters Back In The Early '70s, When I Was 5 Years Old, My Mother Wanted Me To Play The National Anthem. And They Got An Upright Piano On The Back Of A Flatbed Truck And I Played It.
