The reality is, some people don't want you to change or go anywhere different.
You can find a diamond in the rough a lot of times.
It might be a huge hit, it might not; but you learn something doing it.
Music was what I always wanted to do and I was one of the lucky few to achieve my ambition and earn a living from it for which I'm very grateful.
I would say that I've been lucky. Being blessed and not really ever giving up.
Unfortunately, a lot of executives aren't like producers, and can't hear the diamond in the rough.
But a lot of the old fans are listening to a lot of the younger music. So I gotta keep moving forward, and they'll move forward too.
I enjoy music that is commercial.
When I was in top 40 bands, I always had to learn new material and new styles.
I'm continuing to produce and will start a new record soon, as well.
There's artists that I'm working with on a new label of mine. Foxy Nova and Supa Nova.
I usually prepare a track and then I work with the artist when it's time to do the vocals.
I could easily not be the person that people know.
The Internet is a whole new world opening up.
There are people that bring artists to me to look at it and it's a question of whether I like their music and their look and if I think there's something they have that makes them different and commercial.
Commercial music, for the most part, is popular music and you always have to keep that in mind.
The most exciting thing for all of us is movies and movie stars.
I don't go to that many Broadway shows, so I can't really say anything.
