I usually prepare a track and then I work with the artist when it's time to do the vocals.
When I was in top 40 bands, I always had to learn new material and new styles.
I enjoy music that is commercial.
I'm continuing to produce and will start a new record soon, as well.
I could easily not be the person that people know.
Unfortunately, a lot of executives aren't like producers, and can't hear the diamond in the rough.
