No, I've heard over the years that it's nice for them to see somebody who's like, you know, a well-known successful musician who's Asian. I've heard it from a few musicians, too.

I like the challenges of doing different things. It keeps things fresh for me.

Musicians always come off sounding a little bit pretentious, and a little bit... I don't know, hypocritical, from what they do, talking about strong issues.

Yeah, I'm sure there are stereotypes of Asian people.

I like a lot of different kinds of music. I like strong projects, big music.

I started a recording studio. I started producing people and doing remixes.

But, yeah, as far as Asian Americans go, I hope they know they can look at me and see that they can do music on their own, within a band or just on their own, and not feel like there's any barriers. I've never felt any particular barriers myself, being who I am.
