Episode Highlights:
02:11 The idea was to take some exact songs and reimagine them in a whole different way.
05:08 My thinking is that if I have an idea, I just put it down. I don’t spend a lot of time on it.
11:24 I do all this stuff behind the scenes, that makes me happy. It’s a good time to make a little shift and put something out on my own.
16:25 I do very much enjoy putting down the ideas. It’s a quick process for me, it may just be a few chords or a little melody and then I just make a demo. The best songs that I’ve ever written have just come and flowed very easily.
17:20 The whole process of going into the studio with the musicians is also my favorite when I’m making an album. It’s when some magic happens. It’s when you get influence ideas from other musicians.
34:19 I don’t really have a recollection of the first time I laid my hands on a piano but I know that it just came to me naturally.
