After waiting four long years since the Lost CHIC Tapes were recovered, I'm finally putting out our first record. I'm like a child waiting for Christmas morning.

I really do love pop. I understand songwriting, I understand the business, and I'm not stuck in any one particular time period.

I would play hooky from school and spend all day in the movie theaters. Consequently, I learned satire in all its subtle forms.

Any real record person knows that the number one most powerful marketing tool when it comes to music is repetition.

If I could live in one city and do every single thing I do there, I would choose Venice. You can't turn your head without seeing something amazing.

I've had insomnia since I was five years old. I just don't require much sleep. I'm never tired.

I'd probably be a super wealthy guy if I had sat around writing songs and getting them placed like everyone else I know. But I write songs about people or after I meet them and they're somewhat biographical - they're fiction but also non-fiction.
