Playing in my early bands, working as a studio musician, producing and going to art school was, in retrospect, my apprenticeship. I was learning and creating a solid foundation of ideas, but I wasn't really playing music.

Then when I was in grammar school I played the clarinet, and then, after clarinet I played the flute in college orchestra - besides singing in the college chorus and things like that.

I always wanted to play music and have it be my career and knew this by the age of 12.

When I was in school, you could pick any instrument you want, and they'd teach you how to play it. That changed my life. I loved playing music in school, and it sent me on my path as a musician.

I always wanted to be a full-time musician. Every television job I had was a means to buy a grand piano, or to put in a recording studio, or something like that.

I write and play music. I'd like to be a musician at some point.

I'm a little musically inclined; I play the clarinet and the saxophone.

Being a musician is a job - it is just a really fun one!

I studied audio engineering at university. The background I am from, music was never seen as a viable career; it was always a hobby.
