Experience Is A Great Teacher.

The Best Training Is To Play By Ear: Trial By Fire.

It's Really About Making The Best Music You Can Make. It's Really About Working Hard.

I Have A Structured Songwriting Process. I Start With The Music And Try To Come Up With Musical Ideas, Then The Melody, Then The Hook, And The Lyrics Come Last. Some People Start With The Lyrics First Because They Know What They Want To Talk About And They Just Write A Whole Bunch Of Lyrical Ideas, But For Me The Music Tells Me What To Talk About.

Music, To Me, If It's Good, It's Good. That's All That Matters.

Sometimes I Just Think People Are Haters. And If They're Haters, You Can Listen To What They Have To Say But You Have To Take It With A Grain Of Salt.
