There's timing. And then there's also certain people at the record company who worked incredibly hard and were incredibly enthusiastic about what I was doing.

I always thought that if record companies didn't understand me, fine - I'd go and do it by myself.

I thought I'd be wasting my time to go to commercial record companies and make demos for them, because don't forget, I was doing what I was doing and nobody understood what I was doing.

I'm fortunate that I've been in this business long enough that I've earned the right to be left alone by my record company.

I'm really lucky that my record companies have been patient with me and leave me alone and give me the time to make it right in my mind.

I suddenly realized that in order to do what I wanted to do, I had to become that which I hated - which is the head of a record company or a digital media conglomerate - and just do whatever you want.

I decided to combine my musical background, business education and creative abilities - and go into the record business.

I had always thought of starting my own record company. I haven't regretted the decision - yet!

My profession is called record production.

But now I realize that this record business really needs me. No one else is trying to take a chance or do something different.
