I Live Most Of The

I Play And I've Played In Heavy Bands, But When I Write For Myself, I Don't Particularly Feel Like Writing Huge Rock Riffs. It Just Doesn't Work For Me And My Voice.

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.

Yeah, I'm Sure There Are Stereotypes Of Asian People.

I Mean I Like Pop Music, And I Like Heavy Music And, Stuff That I Like... The Band I've Signed On To Our Label Right Now; They're Called The Sounds. They're Kind Of Like A New-wave Pop Band.
