Im one of those foolish people who believe the glory days of the record industry arent behind us. Theyre actually ahead of us.

The deepest and most sincere feeling I get is when I meet an artist and they have that steel in their eyes and they have that fire and that passion and all they want is to be a star and to hear themselves on the radio.

I think of myself as a producer who tries to bring the best out of everyone, whether that be an artist, songwriter or a publicist.

The kids I talk to are convinced their generation will make the best music. And the greatest artists have yet to be discovered. I walk around with that thought every day.

I was a James Brown junkie as a kid.

Im one of those foolish people who believe the glory days of the record industry arent behind us. Theyre actually ahead of us.

Find your passion, and it's no longer work.
