Eventually, out of sheer will of never wanting to get a job or go to college, I found my way into doing music full-time.
Nate RuessI idolised bands like Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins, who wanted to reach as many people as they could.
Nate RuessI don't play an instrument - I just write in my head, and I usually hear fully formed songs. 'We Are Young' turned out so much like it was in my head. But it also exceeded all my expectations.
