I spent ten years playing classical piano, and that was what led to keyboards and eventually to production and to Linkin Park.

When we started the band, it was because we were waiting for a sound that never happened. We got tired of waiting, and we decided to just do it ourselves.

I usually like to make really dramatic songs that are dynamic from part to part - a lot of jumping from really quiet to really loud.

I remember being a little kid sitting in the living room with my brother and some friends from around the neighborhood, and I would sit at the piano and as they were running around the room doing different things and being silly, acting out, I would actually play the score for it - the music that went along with it.
