music thinking cherish-every-moment
For me to be able to reach out to other people throughout all this has been great, people want to hear from me and hear my music right now so it keeps me happy. I cherish every moment. I have a different perspective on everything now. In the end, I think it will make me a better person.
american-musician
We played the same thing in Europe we played in the States.
american-musician express nice several six size weeks work
Pizza Express has been a real godsend for me. I've been working there for several years, six weeks a year. You can go to work every night and play. It's a nice little club. It's just about the right size for me, about 150 people.
improv musical openly people rap specific
I can rap. Not openly in the world, but it's important that people know! I can rap for a very specific reason, which is that in college I was in an improv comedy group, and we did musical improv.
fell listened love mom musical owned secret soundtrack took
'The Secret Garden' was the first musical that I fell in love with when I was a kid. My mom took me to see it, and it was the first one that I owned the soundtrack to and listened to over and over again.
hard musicals pursued
I never pursued voice hard enough. I've done musicals here and there, but I was never dedicated to really being one of these fantastic, operatic kind of singers that you have to be in some of these musicals.
becoming came hot interviews music musical reading scenes selection
I did a 20-minute selection of scenes from the play 'Spring Awakening' in college, well before the musical came around, so when the musical was becoming a hot thing, and I was reading interviews with Duncan Sheik about how he came to do the music, I think it's interesting.
awkward musical imagine
I started out really into musical theater. So you can imagine I was super popular. I wasn't awkward looking at all.

Traveling these days has a lot of problems and also it wears you out more.
albums formative musical obsessive soundtrack
I'm an obsessive musical theatre person, so some of the most formative albums for me were, you know, the 'Phantom Of The Opera' soundtrack or 'Into The Woods.'
alone bad dance favorite loud morning music
One of my favorite things to do is to play music really loud and dance my butt off in the morning. I'll do it alone in my apartment. You can't have a bad day after that.
american-musician
I can't judge my own stuff. That's for others. But those are the three things that I admire.
knew music opened
Before, I just don't think we knew how much music was out there; now with MySpace, it's really opened it up. Filmmakers have so much more choice.
affected american-musician people
At this point, I don't listen to other people too much. I'm not really that affected by anyone.
