I don't particularly enjoy standing alone and recording my own voice or my own stuff. It's sometimes fun to do for demos and stuff, but I really enjoy the social act of recording records, because writing it is so lonely. And it has to be.
I've always been shy, but I see that as a good thing because it kept me focused on music. When I was in seventh grade, I asked my parents for a mobile recording system for Christmas, and I got it. I didn't come out of my room for years after that. I'd get invited to the movies and I'd say, 'I'm gonna finish a couple of demos.'
I would love to make a bunch of country demos and write country songs for really great country singers.
At the time, I was making good money doing background work and demos.
I got a publishing deal with BMG, they were supportive, and some money to record demos.
Every band I knew or played with had flyers and properly-recorded demos and contacts; I couldn't even get a gig.

I'd done recordings, little demos, since I was in college, which I used to get gigs. But I never thought I'd have a record label.
I have started to record some demos so hopefully in the near future I can play live.
I have been a harmony enthusiast since I was a child, singing in choir and with friends growing up. I always put a ton of harmonies on my demos.
