I fell into lyric writing because of music. I backed into it.
For me, it's always an organic process. I don't personally reach out to artists without the music being created first.
Most of my collaborations, certainly post - Howard Ashman but even with Howard, are music first.
For me, the choreography always comes from the music.
Since day one my thing has always been to play the music.
To me, I'm for a band whose forefront is the music.
I think that there was a fad where everyone said, 'I want you to create a signature step for my artist.' The thing is, for me, music creates the step. The artist commands the step, you know?
Secondarily, I think films that are driven by music also terrify studios.
