How It Began > The Songs > The Recording > The Final Mix > The Wait
The creation of this album began with a phone call from my cousin's wife, Roma, encouraging me to capitalize on my years of recording experience to further my own music career. For years, I had put my own song writing on the back burner while devoting myself to other people's projects. Although I had long been aware that I was neglecting my own music, it was only when someone else pointed it out that it hit home: it was time to do something for myself.
As a studio owner, I'm lucky to have the resources to record an album - but finding the time was another matter. One of the drawbacks of the studio business is long hours. I was accustomed to spending days, weeks, even months on my clients' projects. And after a full day of sessions, the last thing I felt inspired to do was spend yet more time working on my own material.
It became clear that I would have to dedicate myself full-time to my own music if I ever hoped to complete an album. I spent the first half of 2000 working intensely to finish several projects already committed to with various clients, then devoted the second half of the year to The Weight of Words.
