> That just happened kind of randomly cuz I have a friend in LA who works for Lorne Balfe and is part of the Hans Zimmer Studio. And we met up for coffee [...] and I told her I was working for Fender, that came up in the conversation. Then a few weeks later, they needed a ukulele player for their film score, so I went to the studio to record the ukulele. And then while I was there, they asked if I could also do some vocals on the spot, so I did that, and that was like the one gig, and I thought that would be it. But then they started sending me more work for vocals, and Lorne just really loves my voice, he said. And then one of the things just happened to be *The Wheel of Time*.
