I like the tuba because it reminds me of my life, its the underdog. Thats Dr. Richard Antoine White, whose biography reads like a manual in how to overcome odds. White grew up intermittently homeless on the streets of Baltimore, and went on to become a world-class symphony musician, professor and the first African American in the world to receive a Doctorate in Music for Tuba Performance. Hes got music in him, yes. But hes also got a drive rarely seen, even in the most competitive artistic circles. As he puts it, the only thing that will stop me from being successful is death.
