I was always in bands before, but on 'American Idol,' it was about getting my voice out there. It was always my goal, though, to get a band together again.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Getting on stage, for me, was a huge thing when I first started. And back in high school, everyone was in rock bands and I was a singer/songwriter. It just seems kind of lame.
I always knew I wanted to be in a band.
I actually started out on the stage as a singer.
Luckily for me, when I was growing up in high school, I had a band, and I was a singer in the band. I'm less of a legit Broadway singer than I am a pop-rock singer.
So there was something of a learning curve with doing your own thing and people seeing you outside of the band. I mean, people have never really heard my voice before - or heard a whole record of mine before. So it was a completely new experience.
I'm not into bands for the sake of being into bands. I've grown past that. There was a time in my life when I was that guy.
I know I could never be in a pop band. I honestly have an appalling voice.
I've never been in a band, but I've hung out with a lot of musicians and helped them with their shows. It's something that I'm really drawn to.
The band we have now on stage is the band I always wanted to be in.
I would've loved to have been in a band, but sadly I just wasn't good enough.
