This is not a trend I follow, a costume I wear, or a sound I borrow. This is my heritage, my duty, and my life’s work. I don’t just play Zydeco—I live it, represent it, and carry its legacy forward. Through every generation, every stage, and every changing trend, my roots remain the same.
I am Zydeco. I am Roots. I am Culture. Will always been true.
