The best time for me to come up with great songs is first thing in the morning, the reason being that I wake up refreshed with nothing else to think about but the song, I have retired from the rat race. and my time is my own, I am also into property renovation , but my time is my own, I can write while I am doing jobs around the Villa (I Live In The French Country side). Whatever suits you as an individual, for me it's always the play back ,of an idea that decides if I am to contiue or scrap the new song. I am a pro singer and have a wide vocal range.
