I wouldn't say that I've had a tough life by any stretch of the imagination.

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

I feel fortunate about being able to make the music I want to make and getting away with it

I got a publishing deal with BMG, they were supportive, and some money to record demos

I certainly wouldn't say that my life is a disaster, but there have been moments where I've felt like that

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

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