I was listening to music long before rock 'n roll.
With the Rhythm Kings, I can involve myself in arranging and producing the music as well as the choice of songs.
So I was releasing this tension with my solo albums, but I didn't want to play music just for money.
You can go to art exhibitions, from van Gogh or Leonardo, you can see the whole history of art in museums and exhibitions. You can see the oldest film that was ever made, etc etc, so why not the same with the music industry?
This small tour, playing clubs, where the music is best, and where the music was actually written for is not a way to make money.
I wanted a variety in my life but after a couple of years I thought that music is what I do so maybe I should start doing it again.
The whole idea behind the band was to play music that we love.
I try to listen to the music channels but you hear stuff where people sing terribly out of tune and they play the wrong notes and chords.
I didn't do music for a couple of years; I just focused on other things.
