It's not easy starting a label and putting out your own records. It's required me at times to humble myself and really push and work hard to try to give this the best shot. I really want to share this with the world.

Life started getting good when I started making money.

Because I'm such a studio guy, I really trust my process. I really believe in myself in the studio.

Hearing the record and seeing the response is affirming that it was the right time and right choice.

It's been such a group effort. When you're a new band and you have limited resources, you end up getting people that are there because they love what you do, and that's great.

I have a habit of recording records very quickly - and not in a haphazardly way, not in a way where I'm not focused on details, because I'm a freak when it comes to that.

I didn't do the typical things that young kids do.
