People see my current success but don't realize I've worked hard to get where I am. I used to clean garbage off the Philadelphia docks and put a lot of time into developing my music.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I worked hard all my life as far as this music business. I dreamed of the day when I could go to New York and feel comfortable and they could come out here and be comfortable.
I've worked hard, but this business can be tough, and I just consider myself incredibly lucky to have had the career that I have, and to still be having so much fun playing drums and making music.
I moved to Nashville at 17 to make music, and since then I've put everything I have into doing it right.
I've been a musician my whole life. I'm really enjoying making music again.
I've made a life and career as a professional musician.
That's a beautiful thing. The more successful you are, the more people are going to come and be a part of music.
I've been working in the music industry since I was 15 years old, and I feel like I've always been ahead of my time.
It was just me in my basement honing my skills, hearing songs on the radio and trying to manipulate them and then writing over those, and I started with local artists in Boston, writing records for them.
I don't know if it's my music, my lyrics, my sound, and knowing the music business the way I do-all I can say is, my career has lasted way longer than I expected.
I'm in the music business for one purpose - to make money.
