"My music has been inspired by jazz artists such as Miles Davis, Sun Ra, Keith Jarrett and Joe Zawinul, etc., by my world music instructors here and abroad, and most of all by the great musician/friends with whom I've collaborated, most notably Ian Dogole, Joe Caploe, Salah 'Woodi' Webb and Ralf Forsland, but also including many others.
My heartfelt thank you goes out to them."
