I don't believe in singing lessons. You can sing or you can't.
But I'm not imaginative. I couldn't look into the future, like Star Wars or Robots or anything like that.
You want people to feel something when you tell a story, whether they feel happy or whether they feel sad.
Speech lessons probably did more for my singing voice - they teach you breathing, resonance
I really liked the Mariachi singing in Westerns.
I sing and play guitar and harmonica. I've been doing it for a long time.
I took speech training. I took a few voice lessons in college.
The life of a Repo Man is always intense.
California is full of Mexican culture and Mexican music.
I've never been ambitious about recording
I play myself all the time, on camera and off. What else can I do?
I've received a lot of compliments. People come right up to me on the street. They recognize me
The band I've played with for 10 or 12 years now, we've been all over, but we mostly play in LA
I'm not really into religion.
