I began the process of recording myself seriously in the fall of 1999. If I could finish an album of my own music, I would. Five years later I am happy to say I have.

I think I've done more recording in the past 10 years than most people, but it's all been directed toward film composing and soundtracks. Just the same, it's been great.

I knew that it was my only shot to be taken seriously in the recording industry, because it's fast and broad.

I got caught up in doing records for other artists. I just stayed behind the scenes, and time just kinda passed.

I write and record all the time; it's my hobby and my passion.

I haven't really been recording in the last several years. I haven't wanted to. And even though I had to deal with Sony and now I'm on Universal again, I will probably put out a new record soon.

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 didn't really even think of recording under my own name for a long time. I thought, 'I've got the rest of my life to do that.'

Yeah, I was in the phase for the last ten years or so where every record I made I said OK, that's the last one, I don't want to record anymore, I don't want to do this any more, I don't want to have a public life.
