bed canadian-musician gig hang point sure travel within
Don't get me wrong, we still go out after a gig and hang out late, but we also make sure to go to bed within some point of the day's travel schedule.
accident canadian-musician definitely good longer taken
So in a sense, the accident was definitely good for me and if that didn't happen, it probably would have taken me a lot longer to get productive.
broken canadian-musician eight happen hours plane segments sleep ten though train
Making sleep happen is a must- anytime, anywhere, from a plane to a train to an automobile. Ideally, I like to get eight to ten hours a night, though I'll take it broken up in two segments if I have to.
canadian-musician excitement finding identity proud records
The real excitement comes from continually making records that I'm really proud of and finding my identity in the record making process.
came canadian-musician developed good life maybe quite record songs studio took
Once I got a record contract, and I took my songs which weren't quite finished, or maybe they were a good idea, maybe they weren't. I took them into the studio and developed them. They came to life and they evolved... and they're great.
awards canadian-musician sales spark
Actually, no, because awards don't spark sales as much as you'd think.
lying writing europe
When I was 21, I got into a motorcycle accident while traveling in Europe and I had to lie around a lot in the aftermath, which was really the first time in my life that I became really focused and inspired to write.
song writing thinking
I think it's important to really press on with the song writing and just go with it. There's no code, there's no craft... it's just let yourself shine through your music. If it's meant to be loved and heard, it'll happen.
matter world kind
I seem to have secured some place in world of music and that's kind of all that really matters to me.
records influence rich
I listened to my record and hear lots of influences. And it's very rich... it's got a wide spectrum.
numbers awards records
I can't say I want to earn a particular award or sell a certain number of records, because even if I do that, the satisfaction only lasts five minutes.
opportunity thinking feelings
Generally my feeling is that I think women are just in a universal way coming out, coming to their own more. And they have more opportunity, and basically we're equal.
real winning thinking
And I think it's a real challenge to be up there sometimes with only a keyboard if they don't have a grand piano... and to try to win people over that way. It's really hard.
children weather singing
Well, I actually first got into music as a small child, and as I became a teen, I sought out making money from music, weather that was singing lounge gigs, backup in studios, or weddings.
