I usually prepare a track and then I work with the artist when it's time to do the vocals.
I would say that I've been lucky. Being blessed and not really ever giving up.
When I was in top 40 bands, I always had to learn new material and new styles.
The reality is, some people don't want you to change or go anywhere different.
I'm continuing to produce and will start a new record soon, as well.
I could easily not be the person that people know.
