Anyway, I was wondering, do you ever have trouble or any issues balancing so many musical identities in regards to your more well known position in music?

You have quickly thought up such matchless phrase?

I wear a number of "hats" in the music business which is how I make a living in music in los Angeles. I prioritize my work opportunities with Al CD's/tours and TV/ film composing coming first, then for-hire music production, Hawaiian music gigs and such after that. If I take a gig, for example, it's always contingent on my availability.If a great scoring opportunity comes up, I try to re-arrange my schedule to accomodate that, as this kind of work can often generate writer's royalties for many years.That being said, I always try to make time for my own music and often turn down work to focus on that.
Cheers,
Jim
