st st studio

People always ask me, do you love to be on stage?  I wouldn't say that exactly, but I've definitely gotten better at it.  It's like a ride... doing something that causes fear, you do it anyway, it's over, and then you want to do it again. 

I'd say, what I love the most, is the studio.  I love being behind closed doors and putting a song down with really talented and creative people.  Probably one of my favorite things in the world.  I never get bored of it, it never takes too long.

I feel very comfortable in that little box, with a microphone and a headset on.  I can close my eyes and there is nothing else going on in the world, except living the lines of that song at that moment.  AND, it's usually a whole lotta fun... aka, check out the video below, especially when in the studio with your best friends...

So pretty much, I love everything about taking a new creation, letting it fly around the room and then getting a 3-D "picture" of it in fixed form.  I guess in the studio I'm not afraid of taking chances and making mistakes, they can be erased and no one will hear.  Playing it live?  I'm a perfectionist, so I like it to always sound perfect (which you can't always control)... But I'm learning to just let it go.  And somehow the less I care about being perfect, the more perfect it becomes.
