There was a period after my first solo album came out that about 50 per cent of my work was with symphonies and big bands. We did the Captain and Tennille as well, but it ended up being about 50-50.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I did a lot of writing for a lot of different kinds of bands that I was in and out of during those five years and that left me with a little body of songs that I liked better when I played alone, so I ended up going out solo and very soon made my first album.
I had a ten-piece band when I was 21 years old, the Bruce Springsteen Band. This is just a slightly expanded version of a band I had before I ever signed a record contract. We had singers and horns.
I started in a band called 'Timbiriche', we toured the world when I was 8; I have 23 albums.
As funny as it sounds, the best thing I got out of making a solo record was to realize how much I love being in a band.
I never envisioned myself as a solo artist; I was always part of a band.
I didn't make a solo album until the year 2000.
Wherever I went, crowds appeared again, and I started making solo albums for the first time in my career.
I didn't make my first solo record until 1981 so I don't have any 60's or 70's recordings but I am working on a large boxed set called DUST to be released next year, the 20th anniversary of my first solo record.
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.
My first five albums were triple-platinum, and I played a lot of concerts.
