My studio is designed for atmosphere. I have a really cozy, comfortable room that has a great, huge glass door that views my backyard.

I was taking piano lessons with a very good piano instructor in Toronto, and I'm afraid due to my schedule and discipline, it kind of fell apart. One thing lead to another and I was unable to practice as much as I wanted to.

I guess, we were people who just dedicated to trying to get better.

If you have some magical chemistry that actually find the music you make compelling, that is a big bonus.

So, I really don't consider myself a fabulous keyboard player.

There was a time when fast playing and fretboard pyrotechnics on the bass were important to me and when I am recording a bass track, that is still very important to me.

I'm a big believer of daylight in the studio.
