There are artists that have gotten some attention because they contrast, and I think that more and more are starting to get a clue. As that happens, you'll see more things happen with the scene. I just wish that this wake-up call would have a quicker response. Once there was just rock and roll, country, classical, jazz, pop and so on. Now there are all of those plus breakbeat, triphop, new age, trance, jungle, down tempo, drum 'n' bass, punk, garage, synth pop, yada yada yada.
Music is in constant evolution.
After the dissolution of Paradigm , you made the transition from singer to songwriter. Tell us about your early musical experiences. I've never had any formal training. I once took piano lessons from my mother and frustrated the hell out of her because all I wanted to do was make up my own material. During my work with Paradigm I was composing loads of instrumentals on a cheap workstation synth.
