Essentially I just want to play and make enough money that I'm able to survive and continue to play. I'm not sure if that'll be studio work, but that is an avenue that some people take to make a living through playing music.

I went to school and got a jazz degree, but I enjoy playing good music, regardless of how iTunes wants to classify it. It's interesting that we still use genres considering how diverse music is getting. I write music too, for a funk sextet. I'm getting instrumentalists together now that I'm settled down in Portland. It'll be funk once it really gets going.
