As I work in a lot of different contexts, I have to change the way I think of my role almost every day.
Of course my job is to supply a strong foundation, but it’s a difference between
opera recitative and a funk or rock gig.
It is very rewarding when the people involved in the same project, are happy.
We are now at #1 for the third week
