You have to let your music be true and then people who want to adopt it as that, they take it on and they love it, and it changes their world.

I grew up in a very musical family, my father was a musician and a big band leader and made records.

I love the feeling of creating pictures in someone's mind just by spelling out the right lyrical combination.

I started playing drums at a pretty early age because my parents were musicians. My dad was an amazing multi-instrumentalist and I can play a lot of instruments, but my dad actually played all the instruments I could play and then added another twenty five or thirty five different categories on there ...he was incredible! He got an act actually in Vegas, my parents Bobby and Phyllis Sherwood.

I'd written songs with lots of people, from one spectrum to the other.

So whenever I had some in-between producing time down in my studio I popped a tape in and started working on it. Working a little bit at a time, it actually took almost four years.

I also write poems, so that is something that I really enjoy.
