L: How do you deal with nerves? You always look so at home on stage.

N: I don’t, ha ha. I’m flattered that you think that. I haven’t fully learned how to deal with the nerves yet. I’m not as cool and calm before I get on stage as when I am on stage. But I did grow up with music, so that might have helped a little bit, and my dad has been doing this his entire life. It’s what he came to this country to do and what I will do for the rest of my life no matter what. It’s what gets me up in the morning, it’s my soundtrack for everything I do every day, and it’s just one of those things that I’d never be able to live without. It keeps me sane, but it makes me go insane. It’s like a double-edged sword in that way. That’s how I stay sane.
