My current project is my band, Population 1. We are writing, rehearsing and playing in Los Angeles.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been doing my big theater projects, which take years, and writing a song here and there.
I also have a recording studio that I use to produce bands.
The local music community here was dying for a place to record, so we started doing acoustic, folk and bluegrass and then did rock projects for other bands, as well as for my son Tal and my own work.
The band projects just took natural priority. I didn't really have a solo career, just wanted to share the music in another way and to learn more about writing, recording, etcetera.
What I try to do is produce an atmosphere where musicians want to invest in what they do and give to the recording. I hire those musicians who I know will play something creative and interesting.
I have been coming to Los Angeles since 1975 to perform.
I just want to work with the big people and the people who make great music.
The band I've played with for 10 or 12 years now, we've been all over, but we mostly play in LA.
The advice I have for new artists is this - write great songs and play them live as often as possible. Get residencies all over town and crush it.
I'm developing artists for my new record label, my son's band, Intangible, being one of them.
