"The process of creating music is a mystery to me and I hope it remains one. My instrumentals can be the result of something as simple as a thought, a memory, or an image. Many of the vocals were written for a specific character in a musical, but some of them were written because of an experience I was going through at a particular moment in time. More than anything, I hope people can relate to the music at some level -- whether instinctually, intellectually, or emotionally." - Steve Saari
