From the moment you step on stage, everything changes.
You're still yourself, but you're surrounded with an energy you can't describe. You know right away that all eyes and ears are on you. It doesn't matter if you're by yourself or with a group - you just feel charged. It's one of the things I love most about performing live. I feel like I can be my best self, and I can feel the energy from the crowd and the music too. It isn't something you can really understand until you're there surrounded by it.
I think being an entertainer isn't about how many tickets you sell. It isn't about the numbers or the awards or any of that. It's just about people and making them feel happy. I'm always happiest when I'm playing, and I always hope the people listening are happy too. That's my biggest goal in music.
