I think the feelings in my music were suggested to me before I even had the ability to play music.

People fall into patterns at fast speeds, when really, to have a clear musical thought - the kind of musical thought that makes a melody work - our brains just can't think that fast. At a certain point, you're going on automatic.

Rock guitarists usually do not wish to think trains of thought about anything but their own guitar playing during a long solo, and I could not play this way if I were not able to divide my attention between my ever changing musical environment and my instrument itself.

As long as you're excited about what you're playing, and as long as it comes from your heart, it's going to be great.

And this whole period of time of gradually working at being a better guitar player and songwriter have gradually led me to the point where I feel I'm doing a clearer representation of the thing that I've been feeling inside me since I was four years old.

I'm not interested in meeting people's expectations, and I'm not interested in pleasing people.

I consider my music to be Progressive Synth Pop, which says nothing about what it sounds like, but does describe my basic approach.
