Being a songwriter requires versatility while being an artist requires you to create a cohesive body of work. I truly enjoy both.

Music is cyclical and as an artist and songwriter, you need to be able to predict what trend is coming next.

Everyone faces challenges from the fierce competition as well as the manipulative crooks that are rampant throughout the music business.

My goal is to always contribute a part of myself to my music that will result in it sounding authentic, timeless, and real. I feel that this truly comes across in my new album, which is in the Rock genre.

Many artists who sign deals in the US and UK get the benefit of worldwide promotion and have a better shot at breaking globally.

Being in the music business requires having a very strong resolve. You must be completely committed to the craziness that will inevitably ensue when pursing a career in music. There is no one who is immune to this. Not even the biggest music icons.

Write great songs that sound amazing if sung and played on the piano or acoustic guitar. Always encourage sing-alongs! Be prolific! Say "Yes" to new collaborations because you never know where it could lead.
