I thought I'd do everything on four-track, and then I'll record every instrument myself in a studio, and then I'll have a solo album released by spring.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Music is also a part of who I am so I'm thinking about recording an album.
Now that I'm coming out with my own record people can see I'm a solo artist.
I wanted to put out a solo record because I was stuck on a major label and sick of it.
I think that was the whole idea behind doing the solo record was to be able to do musically whatever I wanted to do.
Whenever I release a record, it's my record. It's not a selfish thought. I may work all year 'round for other people. So, finally, when I come out with my own album, it should be me with the creative help of other musicians.
An album is such a personal thing. It's something I always wanted to do. It's me doing me, singing as me.
Some people get on the whole touring circuit for years and years and years on one record. What interests me is sitting down at a piano, writing songs, getting into a studio and exploring new sounds to come up with something I'm really proud of.
I'm hoping to become a recording artist and make albums and go on tour.
I'm always going to do that - record and make music.
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.
