I'm an engineer. I see myself as a toolmaker and the musicians are my customers... They use my tools.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My training as an engineer has enabled me to design the stuff, but the reason I do it is not to make music but for the opportunity to work with musicians.
I'm not really a knob-twiddler. I always work with an engineer; I'm not super hands-on when it comes to mixing boards and computers. I'm much more about what I'm hearing and what it needs to be like. I deal with songs and ideas and instruments.
My job is essentially that of an entertainer, no different to that of a musician, no different to that of an actor. I just happen to be an author.
We're musicians. We make music for a living. It's that simple. Nothing else matters.
I'm basically a musician.
I'm finishing building a house and setting up a shop to build custom electronical musical instruments.
I like to work with artists who are as wide in their musical taste as I am.
I know what my job is: I write the songs, I sing them, I play them on the piano.
I play a lot of instruments. I write all my own music. I spend hours and hours a day in the studio. I'm a producer. I'm a writer.
I identify more as a musician than as a singer, because I play piano and percussion, and I engineer and produce everything that I do.
