I Got On The Phone With The President Of My Label And I Said, "obviously, I Write Songs In A Lot Of Styles And Play A Lot Of Different Kinds Of Music. We're Getting Toward The End Of Our Business Collaboration. If You Could Envision A Record That You Wanted To Hear From Me, What Kind Of Record Would It Be?" It Wasn't Like Asking Him To Fill An Order, It Was Really Just A Conversation. For All The Things I'd Ever Asked Him, This Was One Thing I'd Never Asked, And I Don't Know Why. So I Was Curious. And The Thing That He Was Most Interested In Hearing Was A Solo Record.

Collaboration Has Become Really Integral To My Process. I Play Music So That I Can Spend Time With My Friends And Communicate In That Way. I Experience So Much Joy In That Process, Because, You Know, It's Those Times Of Getting Together And Playing Music And All That Comes With It That Are The Best For Me.

Play
