1. Finding Balance Beyond the Music Music has been the center of my life for decades, but I’ve learned that creativity needs balance. When you spend long hours in the studio or travel constantly, it’s easy to lose that balance.

When I step away from the studio, I focus on activities that ground me—things that keep me connected to the present moment.

I watch which tracks open up the dancefloor, which ones make people stop and listen, which moments generate a collective gasp. Then I bring that into the studio.
