Old music is the same as new music - it's just a different way of delivering it.
Yes, I love to play drums and bass and guitar and piano. Those are the main instruments I play. That is it.
I don't actually like touring.
I think from the age of thirteen, I really wanted to be a producer and I've always thought that the producer was the top of the tree.
I try to find nice chord changes, that's how I love to start, and then I start trying to knock it into a song, knock it into shape.
