I'M A HUGE FAN OF HIS MUSIC

LONGTIME, AND HE HAS WORKED
WITH OTHER ARTISTS LIKE ME.
I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO
BE A GREAT PAIRING.

THE SHOW TO BEGIN WITH?

FULL-TIME MUSIC FOR A LONG
TIME, AND IT WAS A VERY RANDOM
THOUGHT, WHAT IF I AUDITIONED
FOR THE VOICE, THAT IS A
RANDOM THING FOR ME TO DO.
I DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO COME
THIS FAR SO IT HAS BEEN A
WEIRD, BUT PLEASANT SURPRISE.
