There's room in the world for one historical folk-rock singer to make a decent living, and I happen to be it.

I traveled the world as a DJ, as a singer, as a songwriter, as a producer.

I used to just sit in the living room and make up songs on the keyboard.

I know there's a big bad world out there, but I rarely come across it.

Only two to three per cent of an audience is interested in words and pays attention to lyrics; most of the rest of it is about image or the beat or the sound, or else it's a tribal thing - country & western, rap, heavy metal, with historical folk rock off in some kind of cult.

You have to be OK with your own fears. If you're an honest person, you'll make mistakes, but that's when the most interesting things happen.
