It's kind of weird. You can have hits, but it's hard to sustain a career. I went through that period where I didn't have a lot of hits, although people were still buying the records.
The city's really changed and they don't get that. They're living in the past and they're trying to drag us back with them. Voters said that already. They'll say that again this fall.
The idea to do the album only on keyboards kind of happened by accident. I was quite happy with the sound and felt it really didn't need more instruments, so I didn't use them.
It's such a special place to begin with. It's a family atmosphere. All the employees are important and we're all there for one goal to help the football team.
Music is an extremely powerful force if used properly to uplift people. I believe music should be uplifting and not downgrading... it's a very, very powerful tool.
I didn't develop or build synths. I had my technicians modify them for my live stage performances.
We visited Ravi. We didn't study with him, as such.
I'm developing artists for my new record label, my son's band, Intangible, being one of them.
