I've been recording since 1993. It was a hobby for six of those years. In 1999, I decided to do it full time and take it seriously.

A lot of people think that I grew up in recording studios and knew the whole process, but that was never the case.

I knew that I could be more creative onstage, to state my own case and deliver my own interpretation of the role much more aggressively than in the recording studio.

I felt that the studio recording process makes you stand still too long.

I didn't take music seriously in the beginning. It just kind of a hobby to me. It was something that I love doing for fun.

I got caught up in doing records for other artists. I just stayed behind the scenes, and time just kinda passed.

If we were truly in the studio making a record, it would have been more time consuming, and certainly I would have been more involved in the writing process.

The whole process of this record was an education for me as a musician.

I'm still amazed by the process of recording.

I was successful with mediocre material because of a good recording voice that people really liked at that time.
