The Busted thing happened when I was 16. I saw an opportunity, took it and it was better than being at school. It was a fun job but I'd never claim Busted was anything other than a pop band.

Busted is not the ideal band I'd like to be in by any stretch of the imagination.

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.

Music videos were this lucky career opportunity. They were assignments. I was providing a service, and they were meant to be punchy and gimmicky and fun.

I'd been bumming around in bands since my school days.

Rock n' roll is a pretty fun job.

I quit the tax job then and decided that I was going to play in a band. I answered ads in the Village Voice and went through two days of auditioning for bands.

I was a fairly good amateur musician, and I was an average professional. But the one thing I saw was that the big band business was fading.
