I was doing stuff that for me was sort of more about playing real music.
I realized the more I made the music for myself, the more successful I was becoming.
I stayed involved with music my whole life. I was always playing with other people.
Someone asked me if I was a method actor - I loved that! I needed to know what it felt like to lose everything just to do the Bad Day video! I could really feel the angst!
I never really know what I'm playing. I just follow what sounds good in my head and keep going.
I was so dyslexic as a kid, and still am, and music was such a great form of escape to me. At school I'd keep my head down and try not to get beat up, and then I'd get home and music would be like a drug to me.
