I did some of my record with Steve and I did some of my record with Gregg Alexander, who had just come off of MCA as a member of the New Radicals. The label thought he would be good for me. I wanted to do the pop rock kind of thing and he was really into that and his sound was happening at the time. Gregg and Daniellereally allowed me to write a lot, so I ended up writing on four songs on the record. When I worked with them, it was this crazy musical environment. I had a different creative vibe in me. I wrote mostly with Danielle and Nick Lashley. He had that real rough guitar sound. They really helped me with songwriting. I'd written before, but I didn't really understand what I was doing. I wrote music from a very early age. I look back on the songs now and obviously they were terrible but I was young. made me understand how to write a song.
