I wrote a few songs and recorded them as acoustic demos. Once I got into the studio with my producer Billy Mohler the songs started to take form and shape in a new way. I released Fade (Rainy Day Demo) as a video and single and that began the project.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><br clear=\"none\" \/><b>10. &#8220;What makes this project different from &#8220;past projects?&#8221;<\/b><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><br clear=\"none\" \/>The songs and the recordings are very different from past bands I have been in, past projects were much heavier and more produced sounding.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div><b>11. &#8220;What&#8217;s the inspiration behind this project?&#8221;<\/b><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>It&#8217;s more or less inspired by life and things around me both past and present.
