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

So there was something of a learning curve with doing your own thing and people seeing you outside of the band. I mean, people have never really heard my voice before - or heard a whole record of mine before. So it was a completely new experience.

My first job in NYC was playing a gig in the early nineties at CBGBs.

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

All of the music works on its own, but it doesn't really make as much sense without the picture.

It's much easier to work on other people's music and play in other people's bands as a guitar player instead of being the main songwriter and singer. That's a really big job to do that.

Even from a listening end now, I'm still completely a fan of music.
