Friends Of Mine That Are From Here

Be Yourself Is All That You Can Do.

I Feel Like You're Not A Real Musician Or Entertainer If You Can't Go Into A Room, Pick Up An Instrument And Entertain People.

I Can Go From One Extreme To Another, From Playing At The Sydney Opera House On The Songbook Tour To Shows With Soundgarden At Voodoo Fest, All In A Week.

I Think That One Of The Main Privileges Of What I Do, Which I Am Just Starting To Learn, Is To Have The Ability To Travel All Over The World And Experience Different Cultures.

I Started As A Drummer, So I Sort Of Took On Singing Duties By Default. I Had Sung Backgrounds And Some Lead Vocals From Behind The Drums In Different Bands That I'd Been In, And I'd Gotten Great Responses For The Songs I Would Sing. I Really Started Pursuing The Possibility Of Being A Lead Singer Based On The Fact That I Was Working A Full-time Restaurant Job And Then Playing Gigs At Night, Hauling Drums Around. One Day, It Just Dawned On Me That, 'hey, I Could Be In A Band And Be The Singer, And It Would Be A Lot Easier!'
