I was sitting out on some picnic tables with Tom, one of my professors at the Contemporary Music Center, an artist colony on Martha's Vineyard. I asked him if he thought I could really do it as an artist. He said that he wasn't sure, because he had only seen me doing canny imitations of other artists. At that very moment, I came face to face with the artist I wanted to be, but wasn't. That's where Shine came from. Tom wasn't telling me I couldn't do it. He was just telling me that he hadn't yet seen me do it. So, from that day forward, I proved to him and the other students that I could indeed do it. After years of living in musical darkness, I knew that it was time for me to Shine.
