Music, as many people have said, is the universal language. Of course points are made which make you think about things, but ultimately it makes you feel.

Writing the songs and producing the songs and arranging them and recording them is your canvas and your palette and your brush.

I like wearing fitted jackets mixed with jeans, a button-down shirt and a tie. I like to keep the rock and roll feel but class it up a bit.
