Being in L.A. is great because there are so many weird people out there, so you can just blend in. I like that.

Playing music has always felt very natural. You know, you do try to do other things, and you do learn lessons that way, but, eventually - well... if your dad is a plumber, you become a plumber. It's the family business, and I felt like I was taking over the family business.

Once I started to get older, my father would say, 'You look more like George Harrison than I do'

I think I learned a lot about not buying into a lot of hype. I wanted to be a kind of faceless entity; I didn't want to be Dhani Harrison and the Muppets or something like that.

I did rebel. I was the rebel in my family, because my dad wanted me to go and just travel with him.

It was a relief to be able to do my own band, because I was very responsible for all this amazing music I didn't want to mess up before.

To come out in the music business, you only really get one shot. A lot of people get to play small gigs first, and build up that way, without anyone really seeing them.
