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 actually am always a music first person

I also wanted to make a record that was about other things than romance, yeah, after two years on the road singing all the songs from the first album, I got kind of tired of that.

When I was a teenager, I got into four track recorders, drum machines, and synthesizers, and I started producing instrumental music.

I think my Buddhist practice has a profound influence on my life and encompasses my creative projects

I try to make sure that the Buddhism is more or less implicit in the music rather than explicit

I actually think sadness and darkness can be very beautiful and healing.
