I really respect the determination a working musician has.
But when my eyes were big and I wanted to be a rock star in my delinquincy, I did a gut check to see if that is all I wanted to do.
I grew up liking metal and alternative, but also some soft influences.
If I have that devotion and I want to attempt something in a pop ballad vein, the conformist side enters in where it says you gotta be more punky.

I would like to do some recordings with a small publishing deal maybe.
Though I don't cross my fingers with it, I don't regret my desicion.

If I wanted to do something just one way I would be an accountant, and if I wanted a mass group of people to like me I would be a politician.
