I am definitely in the right place doing the right thing. These are the rewards.

I'm of the mind that your private life is private and you don't need to put everything out there about yourself - but on there, I describe myself as a citizen of the world, a man of music.

When you create something out of nothing it's the most thrilling thing.

It's not easy staying relevant in the marketplace.

I learned to trust women's ears when it comes to hearing music a lot more than other men.

The music is everything to me.

The first job I got when I was in high school was working for a department store in New York. I worked in the stockroom. That's when I learned that I couldn't work for anyone else, because I was spoken to in a way that I wasn't spoken to at home.
