My parents introduced the family to the
joys of music at an early age. Being one of ten musically
inclined siblings has allowed me to develop a diverse interest
in a wide variety of styles, rhythms and genres. Yet none
has appeared to be so pleasing to listen and dance to than
the good old sounds of the Big Band. Influenced by the family
tastes and our never-ending music festivals, there was one
style that took me to a different place.
