There is a new music video coming in January for that song, plus he has an EP on the way in March as well as a live album in April or May. He has a combined total of almost three-quarters of a million video views on his official YouTube channel and his top five songs on Spotify alone have combined for approximately 128 thousand streams. He was a guest on this show way back in October of 2017 on Episode 192.
“Even though I wrote the song – it’s me, I’m the producer, I’m the composer and everything – but I do like saying we because it’s a combined effort.”
“I’ve had loads of success on the charts, the Billboard charts, the official UK charts and all of that.”
“Even though I’m a record producer, I’m an engineer as well.”
“I’ve always been this guy who wanted to do everything on my own. Ya’ know, when I say DIY artist, I truly am a DIY artist in every possible way. Even my album that hit the MTV EMAs… that was recorded entirely by me… I did literally everything.”
“They say that to really become a success you need to surround yourself with the right people. When they say ‘right people’ they mean the people who excel at what they do and they’re just going to make your child, your song, they’ll just make that song better.”
“I do a lot of production work. I have a lot of artists who come to me to produce their music, so we do a lot of recordings. I record a lot of instruments. I have great session musicians who work for my company.”
“I’ve got lots of artists who come to me to record, who I’ve charted, by the way. These artists have hit the Billboard charts, the iTunes charts, the Amazon charts, the official UK charts. And those songs have not just been produced by me but also recorded and engineered by me.”
“India and Dubai… is some of those places where my videos play almost every day on national television.”
“If you don’t have the time to write a new song or you are not inspired to write a new song, take one of your old songs and maybe you’ve got brand new ideas for that same song, and you give your fans something beautiful to… listen to.”
“We released it as… an album… and initially it hit iTunes number one on the Blues charts here in the UK, simultaneously in the U.S., and then Amazon Best Hot New Releases, and within two weeks it was… number 14 on the official Billboard Blues album charts. That’s unbelievable… that’s a garage album!”
“I’m a performer, first and foremost. I go on stage, and I do my thing and that’s what I am primarily.”
“For me, when I look at a guitar, I’m looking at a Picasso.”
