What got you into music, and if you had not gotten into music what would you be doing today? To make a very long story short, I got super lucky as a kid. I was adopted from Romania and came to Canada at six weeks old. I started being taken to jazz clubs in downtown Toronto at the age of two. I grew up getting to see so many of the greats like; Tony Bennett, Diana Krall, Oscar Peterson, Mel Tormè, and Ray Charles. Without even knowing it my musical training developed sitting around at all those smokey jazz clubs into the wee small hours of the morning. I’m self taught vocally. I listened intently to as many artists as I could. Some people went to school to learn. I went to jazz clubs.
