I remember listening to Miles Davis in the car with my dad. I had just done my Grade 5 piano exam, and I was quite cocky. I said, 'It sounds like he's played the wrong note there.' I remember the look of horror on my dad's face, and thinking, 'Wow, I have to figure out why that is not acceptable.'

I know what I've done for music, but don't call me a legend. Just call me Miles Davis.

For me, a wake-up playlist completely depends on what mood I'm in. If I need to get into action pretty quick, it will be between Beyonce and Miles Davis. I'm a massive Beyonce fan, and all of her anthems will do it for me. And Miles Davis, because I grew up hearing his music because my dad played it a lot, so that will always be special to me.

If I'm going to be a jazz player, I need to understand Miles Davis.

Miles Davis is a major influence of mine in terms of the way that I am as a bandleader.

I wanted very much to be Miles Davis when I was a boy, but without the practice. It just looked like an endless road.
