So when bands work with me and it's 10 o'clock, usually you'd have to be getting out of the studio, we could go on until 2 in the morning cause it's my place!
I wrote songs with the guys from Air Supply for their record... So I was just writing songs.
I'd written songs with lots of people, from one spectrum to the other.
I've had the luxury of owning my own studio, 24 analogue, 48 digital, endless effects, endless hardcore gear, that I don't have to rent, I don't get stuck with the bills, it's all mine.
So for my studio purposes, I know that I'm in my studio with technicians who've done amazing things to my board and to my power amps and I know what I can deliver out of my studio.
So I was always around music and my dad was in his own way a progressive jazzer, a big band jazzer guy.
So in one sense you don't have the classic keyboard player in Yes.
So one can say that I write all the time, that goes for the lyrics as well.
You know, I am just a musician and I have no idea these days what good and bad is in terms of labels.
