I normally work like a vampire. Around 8 to 9 P.M., what I call 'the spirits' actually show up, and then I just go in the booth and scream on top of a track. I only sing on the mic. I don't sit down and write anything.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I like to call up ghosts of things past for myself when I'm working a lot.
I used to work in a hospital, in a laboratory doing phlebotomy. I was a vampire.
I record all night and sleep all day. It started because you're excited about the music and you want to stay up longer, but over 15 years, it's become a habit. In my circle, I think a lot of musicians operate like this. When the place is quiet, you're more creative. I have plenty of people I can call at 4 A.M. and know they'll be up.
People ask me, 'Isn't it scary living on your own?' but in this industry, being at events, doing interviews, and doing promotion and constantly chatting about yourself, sometimes it's really nice to just sit in silence or take a day where you can sleep in until 3 P.M. and then stay up as late as you like.
I keep vampire hours, going to bed at 2 A.M. and waking up at about 10:30-11 A.M.
I'm nocturnal when it comes to recording - I'm just more creative at night.
I work on my voice through what I have to sing.
For me, there is no day or night for music. I often work through the night - without phone calls disturbing me.
I don't feel I fit in with morning television because I'm like a vampire and I like to stay up late.
I usually hang around the room listening to a bit of last night's show. If there's one available, I go to the steam room every day for my voice. I spend half an hour there and then I eat, because I can't eat later than four o'clock. Then I go for a soundcheck. That's my day.
