The band I've played with for 10 or 12 years now, we've been all over, but we mostly play in LA.

I moved out to L.A. when I was 17, dropped out of high school, and pursued a career in music.

I love L.A., but I don't live there. I spent some time there when I was recording 'Kaleidoscope,' mainly working with some of the artists I collaborated with. The city and people in L.A. have a great vibe and the weather is always beautiful.

I played in a couple of really crummy bands, including one in the dorm I was in at MIT, for a year or two.

I was a groupie for a year and followed a band. I dated the drummer of the band.

I could have stayed in L.A. and done sitcoms for awhile and will probably go back and do one I hope.

I'm also performing regularly in Southern California with two bands. As a solo artist doing acoustic sets and a member of the Jenerators, my rock n roll band that has been around for a long time now.

I'd played in about four or five bands before we started up, only a couple of which did club dates.

Then I left that school and I went to Cerritos College, which was in southern California; they had one of the best big band programs in the country at the time.
