When I first got into the major label system, they were like, 'Hey, you're great - now write with a million people so we can get songs.' That was something I hadn't done before, and the songwriters I was working with had worked on some massive numbers - like 'True Colours.' One of the guys wrote 'Livin On A Prayer.'

I definitely felt the love from L.A. from the get go. People appreciate good music out here.

I don't think a good singer or a great singer is either of those things without a great song.
