For me, there is a strong family connection to Boston and anything connected to Boston, which includes Fenway.
I always wrote music for my friends, but my focus was on playing piano. I didn't think I'd be quite good enough to be a soloist, but I believed that if I worked hard enough, I could work as a player, a teacher.
I was never that into the movies. Never. Even as a youngster. I became interested in movie music only because of the studio orchestras in Hollywood.
As a young pianist in Hollywood, I began orchestrating for others, and I just felt really comfortable doing that.
I fell in love immediately with Daisy Ridley. She is just a superstar born.
