“Songs, and songwriting keeps me inspired, moving forward. I tend to scribble down notes, lyrics or just random thoughts on pieces of paper, backs of cigarette packs, sometimes on my shirt cuff. Rock nâ€™ roll is closest thing Iâ€™ve got to a spiritual power. Itâ€™s been the higher voice in my life and itâ€™s never let me down.”
“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.”
