KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Communication is essential in having great working relationships.
Playing music without the driving force of producing a song is therapeutic. Music can be healing for the soul.
Touring is difficult when you don’t have the same band at every venue. It is easier to stay in the studio as a solo artist if they cannot tour with their band.
