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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I always wanted to have my own album recorded and released before I graduated high school.
I would like to say when I turn the project over to the label that I have been successful. And that's truly the way I feel. But, in addition to the self-pride in 'making' a good album, to be honest, I'd love to have a hit record.
I did a lot of writing for a lot of different kinds of bands that I was in and out of during those five years and that left me with a little body of songs that I liked better when I played alone, so I ended up going out solo and very soon made my first album.
I think I've grown a lot in the last few years, and I needed to express myself as an artist on this. It wasn't necessarily about going in and making an album chocked full of hit singles... there were a lot of things I did out of the joy and the want to do it.
A lot of people considered my career as an artist largely over. Two albums got shelved. But I've made music since I was a little kid, and for the majority of that time, I wasn't paid for it. So I will always be making it.
At some point in my life, before I was gone, I wanted to make an album, even if it was for no reason other than posterity.
I always wanted to have my own album released before I graduated from high school.
Music is also a part of who I am so I'm thinking about recording an album.
With the first album, I wanted to do so many different things, and I was fighting with myself to try and see if I was worthy enough to do it.
When I started working on my own music, I didn't have the chance to record in a big music studio, so I had to record everything myself.
