When I started studying for the arias it was like going into training for a heavyweight title fight.

It's understanding the intention of a composer that allows a producer and an arranger to make those moments speak.

Someone told me there was a publisher that could find a good home for my songs, but I didn't want to give up my pursuit of a career in the business as an artist.

It's hard to say exactly what it is about face-to-face contact that makes deals happen, but whatever it is, it hasn't yet been duplicated by technology.

I love 'The Office' format so much that I wanted to close it out.
