I grew up to the sound of live music in our Brooklyn household.
I am not a creature of habit.
My profession is called record production.
The labels are not getting the returns they want from their PR. Plus, for every Taylor Swift there are a hundred thousand nobodies out there who are probably making better music. Self-releasing is the only way to go.
Computers have virtually replaced tape recorders.
No one else in our family was a professional musician so this took an enormous leap of faith on their part.
