Everything I Have Now Is So Real,

Every Little Kid That Steps On The Court Or The Field Has Aspirations To Go Pro. I Think Being A Pro Basketball Player Is The Best Job. The Thing I Had To Realize Was That I Can't Do Every Dream That I Have.

I Am At My Core A Singer/songwriter A La James Taylor Or A La Billy Joel. It's Not That I Don't Want To Work With People, But I Do Just Love Doing My Own Thing.

I Just Do What I Do And Hope It's Accepted By The Public At Large. It's Different From When Marvin Gaye And Stevie Revolutionized What Music Was 25 Years Ago. Now There's All This Technology That's Available To Everyone. It's Tough To Be Ahead Of Anyone.

Music Used To Be Essential And Meaningful, But Now It's Disposable.

I Went Back And Listened To The First Three Albums I Made And Tried To Figure Out What Was Special About Them, Why People Keep Going Back To Them. I Think It Was Because I Didn't Know What I Was Doing. I Had No Idea If They Were Going To Play It On The Radio Or Anything. All I Did Was Write Songs, So That's What I Got Back To.
