And they were looking for a new composer for their second season. And he called me. Interesting enough, I had just gone to like a pen reunion and I was on a train leaving Philly. And I get a call from Dan and he was like, will you come in and score season two of my show? And I was like, nah, dude. I was like, I don't know how to score for TV and film. I can't do this.

So I said to him, and he was like, he's like, I really want you to do it. And I was like, here's my guitar player's number. because this is what he wants to do. He's been trying to break into this. The band is like, I don't know what we're doing next, just call him. Dan's like, I really want you to think about it. He goes, I really believe that you can do this. He goes, I know your melodies.

from band world and they connect to me. I feel the emotionality in them. And he's like, I think you can bring that skill here. And I'd never written anything for TV or film. I didn't go to school for any of it. I was in a band. So all my only experience was acapella group and band, right? That was really it. And then, you know, arranging for my acapella group, like writing for the voice part.

So he's like, Dan Fogelman called you to do something. He's like, that guy is a beast. And he's like, you should be open to maybe having your career go in a different direction. I think at that point I was just pretty green. I was like, no, I'm going to make another record. This is what I'm going to do. Not thinking about, I don't know, the fact that I was about to get married, future, family.

What did it mean for me to really be in a band? How could I really do that with all of it too? And so then I called Dan back and I was like, okay, I'll do it. And he was so psyched. And then we ended up doing that show together. And then the show got canceled the year I worked on it.
