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

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

I'd like to keep doing film and TV, and I definitely can appreciate a good theme song. If it's memorable, that's a great thing.

Composing is just another exciting thing. It's as exciting as being in a band. It's kind of like joining a new band for three months.

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

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.

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.
