Not in any particular order: my 3 biggest musical influences are Frank Zappa, Pearl Jam, and BT. I always liked the idea of having a mentor – it was something that my good friend (and mentor) David Weiss taught me to do years ago. You grow faster and better when you look up to someone, follow them, learn from them, and in turn become someone else’s mentor too. It’s a circle, and it comes back to you.
Me and BT
A few weeks ago I arranged BT’s Simply Being Loved for orchestra, and also was invited to meet him at the Santos Party House. He’s a super cool guy, and is into all the stuff I’m into like Super Collider, Max/MSP and more. I grew up listening to him, and advise all of you to check him out – his next album looks to be the best one yet. It was really cool connecting with someone who I respect so much. I would also like to have a drink with Eddie Vedder too. Makes me always remind myself why I work these long hours.
So who are your musical influences, and what are your goals? Write them down so we can keep track together!
