10) What is the most memorable moment of your entertainment career? Music, more so than just poetry, moves the soul, the very essence of our primal instincts and emotions. Not only do I derive pleasure from the music for my own personal needs, I also utilize the music as a tool in affecting the emotions and needs of those people who are in my crowd at my special events. Regardless of whether it is cocktail music, dinner music, or full-blown shark feeding frenzy dance floor action... I enjoy creating the atmosphere at every event where I entertain.
