I studied communications, only because I could get my own show on the campus radio station. I never thought of it as a career. Music was always a really passionate hobby - it was like collecting DVDs or stamps.

Music has always been a large part of my life, and I'm very fortunate to be able to start a career doing something I love.

My mother insisted that I pursue music. I rented out my father's musical equipment and earned some money. As a child, I wasn't sure about a career goal, but I was always fascinated by electronic gadgets, specially musical equipment.

I had no idea that I could sustain a career as an artist. But, I loved music and wanted to be in the music business.

Playing in my early bands, working as a studio musician, producing and going to art school was, in retrospect, my apprenticeship. I was learning and creating a solid foundation of ideas, but I wasn't really playing music.

I had always thought that I would do something that was connected to music as a career, or possibly Chinese, which was my major.

I always wanted to be a musician from when I was kid. It was always a massive dream of mine. School was also really really important to me and having an education was top of my priority. So I really wanted to have a degree before I tried anything in the music industry.

Going to college was never an option. I was passionate about music, but how much talent I actually had was another matter.

You can work on music a few lifetimes.
