Episode Highlights:

01:41 I started out in church, my father was a pastor and whoever didn’t show up is the instrument that you play that Sunday. 

02:33 I was one of those kids who was consumed by music. It was every genre and it didn’t matter. 

09:39 My process is different every time, sometimes it’ll be a melody, sometimes it may even be a drum pattern. 

11:25 I usually know what statement I want to make by the beginning of the song so once I’ve reached it at the end, I can say that was good. 

28:17 I went to school and got my Master’s Degree in Business with an Entertainment and Music Focus.
