I Live Most Of The Time In

At Some Point, I Had To Make A Decision: I Could Practice More And Become A Really Great Guitar Player Or I Could Work On Writing Better Songs. There Are Only So Many Hours In The Day, And I Found Writing Songs More Fulfilling Than Working On Becoming This Virtuoso Guitar Player.

There Is A Lot Of Work Just In Terms Of Traveling And Logistics And People And Gear And All That Kind Of Stuff. But I Never Really Have Problems Playing Music. That Never Seems Like Work.

I Play And I've Played In Heavy Bands, But When I Write For Myself, I Don't Particularly Feel Like Writing Huge Rock Riffs. It Just Doesn't Work For Me And My Voice.

The Music Industry Is Not What It Used To Be. Being In A Good Band Is Great, And I've Been Lucky To Be In Great Bands. I've Done Solo Stuff, And That's Been Great. I Also Produce Rock Bands And I Do Co-writes, Where I Write With Different Singers In Bands And Songwriters.

I Think If You're Able To Make The Music You Want And You Can Do It In The Right Kind Of Context, You Don't Have To Be A Circus Ringleader To Be Successful.
