As a creative person you just get an idea in your head, and sometimes you just can't shake it off.
The casual listener won't be around forever.
I liked the piano. I always liked playing. I just hated homework.
I like sneakers. I guess I could call myself a collector.
I grew up painting and playing piano so when I was a little kid I thought I was going to be an artist or a painter but my mom had me taking piano lessons for about 10-12 years as a young kid.
I spent ten years playing classical piano, and that was what led to keyboards and eventually to production and to Linkin Park.
