When John Williams heard one of Graham's performances of my piece, he liked it a lot and ended up touring and recording it.

I recently wrote a chamber piece for John Williams that includes two guitars, violin, double bass, and percussion, which has been performed multiple times.

I often collaborate with performers, and I don't always take sole credit for compositions, as many ideas come from the musicians I work with. I wrote a concerto that John Williams recorded, but it wasn't originally written for him; it was for my friend Graham Roberts.

Currently, I'm working on a solo guitar piece inspired by Joni Mitchell, and another piece for Aniello Desiderio that draws from Italian opera.

I personally love new music, even if it's not for everyone, as many composers are often ahead of their time.

Some musicians, like mandolin player Johnny Stats, maintain their passion for music while working full-time jobs, showing that joy can come from playing without the pressure of fame.

Leo Brouwer advised that on the day of a concert, one should just be happy, which shifted my perspective on performance.

Segovia was humble about his own compositions, often downplaying their significance compared to his arrangements.

As a teacher, I find it important to balance teaching well-known pieces with introducing lesser-known works to encourage diversity in my students' repertoire.
