Also, I\u2019ve been interested in different cultures for many years which reflects in my music.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing like being immersed in a culture to really appreciate it way beyond what a film can give you.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">SE:<\/span> Since this will be your first visit to Nagaland, what kind of experience you are anticipating?<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">JB:<\/span> Adventure. I haven\u2019t had time to look into information about the area, so I expect surprises daily. I\u2019m really looking forward to hearing local musicians.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">SE:<\/span> Tell us about your music training?<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">JB:<\/span> I took lessons since I was 8 years old, and eventually graduated from Musicians Institute in Hollywood. I also studied with some private jazz players. My father always had jazz playing in the house. He also took us to a lot of concerts.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">SE:<\/span> How many hours do you still practice?<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">JB:<\/span> It depends on what projects are looming. So, it\u2019s anywhere from 1 hour to all day.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">SE:<\/span> In the 10 years you have worked with Michael Jackson, what was the best part?<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">JB:<\/span> The best was everything that was so new to me on the Bad tour in 1987.<\/p>\n<p>I got to see the world in style. We had time to really get to see the sights and absorb where we were.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>We played to 50,000 people or more every show. Getting to experience the excitement is something that will always be burned into my brain.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">SE:<\/span> From your experience, how was Michael as a person?<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">JB:<\/span> He was kind, thoughtful, considerate, and enormously talented.&nbsp; It gave him joy to be able to present innovative fresh material and stage shows to people.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">SE:<\/span> What does it take for an artist to make it big in Music Industry?<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">JB: <\/span>There is no formula. I think in the end it\u2019s a combination of your personality, talent, and energy. In general, people that are famous are pretty driven to do what it takes. Having a good focus on your goals and working non-stop are key. But in the end, the audience can feel your level of love for the music, so that has to be number one.<\/p>\n<p>By the time I got the gig with M Jackson, I was playing in 6 different bands, and teaching guitar 6 days a week. So, music was pretty much all I did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sky entertainment has announced that the tickets for Axe\u2019s Power would be available at Jumping bean, Crescendo and Furtados.
