I Do My Best To

I Get Hired As A Writer Or Producer And I Do The Best I Can To Bring Out That Artist. If Somebody Calls You To Do Something, You Go Right For That Vision And You're Aware Of That Person's Vibe. You're Trying To Get Inside Of Them.

My Mother Passed At The End Of The Circus Tour. After That I Really Needed To Take Some Time And Just Chill Out And Get My Head Together.

Mothers Love You To The End, And She Didn't Want To Hold Me Back From My Livelihood. So I Left For A Month And Called Her Every Couple Of Days. I Came Home And She Died 24 Hours Later.

I Basically Camped Out For A Year And A Half In An Airstream Trailer On The Beach Out In Front Of The Studio. I Had No Idea What I Was Gonna Do, What Kind Of Album I Was Gonna Make - All I Knew Was That I Wanted To Sit There And Just Take In Whatever Came.

I Really Didn't Know A Lot Of Rock 'n' Roll Until I Moved To L.a. Before That, When I Was In New York, I Grew Up Listening Mostly To R&b And Soul And Jazz.
