I wanted to have all the songs to be the strongest they could be and all the choruses to be catchy. One of those records you could put in your car and just drive and not have to change it.

It's such a great feeling being able to play shows for a great cause to help people in need. If we all try to help one another the world will be a much better place.

Sometimes I write from personal experience, but so much depends on what mood I'm in. If I'm in a good mood, I'll write happier songs.

I think it is so great when artists use their voice to help other people and it is really great to be a part of the benefit.

When I auditioned to be part of the "This Is It" Tour, I didn't think I was going to get in. I didn't think it was for real at first, when I got the message on MySpace from the musical director to come in and audition for him. I came in and I played for the musical director, and that night Michael Jackson came in and sat down on the couch and I played "Beat It" for him. I just practiced as much as I could to make sure it was perfect.

You have to think outside the box. The world is changing every day, the music industry is so different but I think the more creative you are the better.
