"Another highlight was performing for Nas at his Watches of Switzerland and Haute Living event last year. Although I felt prepared as I arranged the backing tracks for my performance, I was extremely nervous. I honestly couldnāt figure out why because I have over 21 years of experience performing around the country, but this performance felt different. Maybe it was the legend himself or maybe it was extremely important to me, but I havenāt experienced a performance like that in a while. Itās funny that friends and family members of mine were telling me about how much they love Nas, the impact he had on their lives and how cool it was that Iād be performing for him. An old teacher of mine used to tell me, āif youāre nervous, then that means the performance is very important to you.ā Itās quite possible thatās what it was, or itās that I was star-struck, or I kept thinking about my family. I ended up having a great time performing and felt silly I was nervous to begin with."
