I may quit the music business someday, but never the music.

I went to school for marketing for one year before I dropped out of college to make music.

I couldn't concentrate on music. So I made the choice to give up my career as a musician in the frontline to deal with the business.

When I graduated college, I had a fairly successful weekly club gig and was buying more studio equipment and writing my own music. I realized I didn't want to work.

We have such a high drop-out rate from musicians, said the head of the college. He was right - I dropped out before I even dropped in. Months later they were still asking what had happened to me, not realising that I was on a UK tour.

I was doing without for so long, not knowing the things that are normal for musicians. I was getting bookings regardless, people phoning or emailing me direct, and journalists were writing about me anyway.

And my career, the things that have happened have happened because of my music education background.

The whole format of entertainment that I did seems to be fading away. The music business of today is completely different when you see the videos and the music.
