Seriously… this may sound like crap, but I probably wouldn’t have been music director for Owl City if it weren’t for what I learned from the actors on this show.

I’m just getting over a month of some of the worst back pain of my life. It almost put me in the ER and I almost had to cancel a tour because of it. Naturally… I looked for advice. Unfortunately… most of it sucked. And that fact taught me a ton about the way the creative process works.

Do you consider yourself a traveler?

Forget “Yes” or “No.” What I’m really curious about is what comes to mind when I ask you that question.

Maybe you picture yourself boarding a plane with your passport in your pocket.

I’ve been obsessed with asking my music friends that same question this past month, and a gig this past weekend in Minnesota’s Iron Range reminded me of a quote I once heard, “Sometimes, you can get a stamp in your passport, just by crossing the street.”

"Eager" and "enthusiastic" are two words I could use to describe my younger self in multiple aspects of my life. The problem is that those often get perceived externally as "desperate."
