"Music has always been my most potent passion – listening to it, playing it, writing it, and the magic that happens when you share it with other people. For me, that magic manifests itself most potently when I’m singing in front of an audience. Unfortunately, there is also probably nothing that has brought me more extreme angst. For as long as I can remember, I have been plagued with a visceral, debilitating stage fright when faced with the prospect of singing in front of literally any other person."
