Ken James Kubota - The cellist known for playing the cello like a guitar.
I think art, music, a the end of the day is an empathetic art form. Music, I feel like the main purpose or the main goal is for you to share a human experience with someone else, whether that is through classical or another form of music. If the recipient or the listener listens to that music and they resonate with the empathetic nature of what that artist was trying to communicate, what kind of human experience they were trying to communicate and if they resonated with that, and are moved emotionally, then that's great. You've accomplished what you were here to do." Ken is talking about playing different music genres and how, the more he is exploring, the more amazing things he discovers.
