Influences: My influences are from all over the globe, but my main influence goes back to Brasil with one of the most talented multi-instrumentalist I know, “HERMETO PASCHOAL”. He gave me my first music workshop back in 1983, since then music has found a particular meaning in my heart. Hermeto Paschoal in Chicago
