So, once I get writing I really try and put five to eight hours a day in my room with a guitar to really try and come up with stuff that feels interesting enough to me to keep it.

Plus, we spend most of our time writing music. Most of the time is spent in the studio in my house.

If I was writing songs just for me I'd only play them in my living room, alone.

It's funny: I'm a lifelong musician, but because I principally play the piano it's been a solitary thing.

I have yet to have a successful outcome of sitting in a room with someone and trying to write a song. The way that I generally co-write is that someone else writes the music or part of the music.

I write my own music. By myself, on a computer, I program guitar and piano.

Music will always be there. I own a piano. I have it in my apartment. I play it every day, and I have a lot of musician friends who I play with.

I sit and write songs alone and then get together with people to help me flesh it out into a recording.

If I write for myself, I write a song and I bring in the musicians that are best suited to play it. There's a freedom there.

I write music just for me. I'm certainly not good enough to do it on any kind of a level but I enjoy that time because it's quiet.
