Everyone said that if you want to be a REAL ACTOR, GO to NEW York. If you want to sell out, go to LA. And I thought - I want to sell out!

I was always singing but didn't plan on pursuing it SERIOUSLY. When I got to New York City when I was 18, I started playing in CLUBS in Brooklyn - I have good friends and devoted FANS on the UNDERGROUND scene, but we were playing for each other at that point - and that was it.
