Yes, we do mimic our parents in a lot of ways.

My father, Fred Carter, Jr., is definitely an extraordinaire.

I've been in LA for 5 years now, and it's been very freeing creatively.

No matter what you do for a living all we have is music to get through certain situations.

I think the themes in my songs are very similar from the first album to the newest one. It's all about the human condition and how we are all trying to learn to live with each other and survive love and life.

My relationship with Music Row has always been, from my end, optimistic and hopeful that there is more than one way to approach the writing, recording, and marketing of an album.

There's a lot of freedom for me living in L.A.
