You were born in Perth, Australia. Has the fact of not coming from the States affected a lot your career if you compare it to your fellow musicians from New York or Chicago?
On one hand, I would say yes. I think many musical things that are commonplace in NYC are held in higher regard, or are more exotic in a remote location such as Perth, West Australia. On the other hand, I would say no, as who is to say that I wouldn’t still have the drive and desire to do what I do if I were born in the US?
