It's inevitable your environment will influence what you do

If I were to do this over I'd play a lot more shows before I made a record

I'm a pretty big P.J. Harvey record fan and you can really hear New York in his record

Simon Hale, the British arranger, does all string and wood arrangements on my records

For my second record I had gotten ProTools and started to familiar myself with hard disc recording.

Lately I've been a workaholic. I'm in the studio all the time and I've helped to produce a couple of artists

I make the kind of music I like
