We Have A Partnership Deal With New

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.

The Music Industry Is Not What It Used To Be. Being In A Good Band Is Great, And I've Been Lucky To Be In Great Bands. I've Done Solo Stuff, And That's Been Great. I Also Produce Rock Bands And I Do Co-writes, Where I Write With Different Singers In Bands And Songwriters.

After 12 Intense Years Of Rock Music, I Was Happy To Get Away From Making A Record And Going Out On A Tour. When I Did It, I Wanted To Feel Inspired. After A While I Finally Had My Fill Working On Other People's Music, And I Started Coming Up With Music On My Own And Said, 'this Could Be For Me.

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.

All The Bands I've Played With Have Had Dynamic Front Men.
