All The Bands I've Played

No, I've Heard Over The Years That It's Nice For Them To See Somebody Who's Like, You Know, A Well-known Successful Musician Who's Asian. I've Heard It From A Few Musicians, Too.

When I Lived In New York, There Wasn't As Much Tv Or Film Around. I Got Asked To Do A Couple Of Indie Films, Just Based On Me Being From The Smashing Pumpkins And A Perfect Circle. I Did A Couple Of Indie Movies From Japan And One From Canada, And I Thought It Was An Exciting, Fun Thing To Do. I Had A Great Time Doing It, It Was Just That, In New York, There Really Wasn't As Much. My Studio In New York Closed, So I Moved Out To L.a. And Just Started Looking Into Composing As Another Thing To Do, As A Musician. I Like It A Lot. It's Fun And It's A Different Way Of Thinking About Music.

All Of The Music Works On Its Own, But It Doesn't Really Make As Much Sense Without The Picture.

But, Yeah, As Far As Asian Americans Go, I Hope They Know They Can Look At Me And See That They Can Do Music On Their Own, Within A Band Or Just On Their Own, And Not Feel Like There's Any Barriers. I've Never Felt Any Particular Barriers Myself, Being Who I Am.

We Have A Partnership Deal With New Line Records, Which Is Part Of New Line Cinema, And... I Worked On That.
