He tried collaborating with musicians over the years and helped write some cool songs with some very talented people. Q had the opportunity to spend a lot of time in studios watching the recording process and he learned a ton about how to build a song. But those songs still weren’t His. Finally, at the unusually advanced age of 35, with the support of his amazing wife and life partner Brandi, Q decided to pick up a guitar and give it a go. Learning to play and write music at 35 was daunting to say the least, but he kept plugging away. The music came to him eventually, and the experience in recording helped get solid ideas down right away. Within a few weeks songs were taking shape. Q was able to lay down guitars, drums, bass and keyboard, but sadly, he still couldn’t sing worth a damn!
