THE GODS was my first professional band and I learned a lot during that time. It was very cool playing with so many great musicians as it helped me to learn.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I grew up around a lot of church musicians.
I was in the band as a boy and was taught music and learned to compose.
I didn't know anything about music when I started a band. I barely knew how to play a guitar. I didn't know how to produce records. I learned how to play bass guitar and keyboards in Rilo Kiley. I picked up a lot from my collaborators.
I grew up loving music, like, loving it. I was involved in church choir, leading worship and all the choirs in my school - even glee club.
My older brother and myself always played together in bands, but we never knew we would be professional musicians.
I was a good amateur but only an average professional. I soon realized that there was a limit to how far I could rise in the music business, so I left the band and enrolled at New York University.
We were really grown up for our age and it was an incredible special band.
Throughout my whole life, as a performer, I've never played with a band. I've always played alone, so I was never required to stay in rhythm or anything. So it was a real different experience for me to start playing with a band. There were so many basic things for me to learn.
When I was a kid I never learned to play. I actually got in bands through watching people play and copying them.
I was a musician first before anything.
