I started writing when i was around 6. i say 'writing,' but it was really just making up stuff! i started writing and doing my own thing. i didn't really know what a demo was or anything like that, so i started getting interested in studio gear and started learning about one instrument at a time. my first instrument was an accordion.

More From Hunter Hayes

There were two recording studios in bellingham. one was really expensive, a "nice studio." we were at the point where we were young and irreverent. we would scoff at the idea of a nice studio. "why would you want to go to a nice studio? oh wow, they have really expensive gear. ooh, that's really fancy. well we've got an eight-track. we've got it going on here." now that we have the resources, we're like, "oh wow, a nice studio is pretty nice! they do have nice outboards here. it's actually a pretty good place." it's funny how much changes so quickly.

My first instrument was an accordion. growing up in louisiana, my grandmother gave me an accordion because of our cajun heritage.

I always loved writing songs - writing for myself and demo-ing songs, really with no intention of ever letting anyone else hear them. finally the foo fighters stuff happened when i just went to the studio down the street from my house and recorded some stuff in about five or six days, and all these people wanted to release it as an album. i wanted to release it on my own, with no photos and no names on it.
Song Writing Names
So when i was working with amy winehouse on "back to black," you know, she had all these beautiful songs, incredibly well-written and just her on an acoustic, nylon-string guitar. and she'd play them for me, and then i would kind of drum up my idea of what i thought - make a demo with what i thought the drums should be doing, the guitars - like, quite a crude demo.

Writing isn't about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends. in the end, it's about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life, as well. it's about getting up, getting well, and getting over. getting happy, okay? getting happy.

Andrew [ridgeley] and i had demoed a couple of our songs very cheaply, and we weren't expecting any kind of record deal. we just walked around with our demo tape, trying to find someone to give us the money to demo properly. instead of that, we got a record contract. it was just an incredibly lucky break.

So pretty much, to sum it up, if you can freak someone out and bring that kind of emotion out of somebody with a song, you're doing something right.

Engineering and mixing are absolutely key. once a song is done, for me personally, it's usually two or three days to get the mix down.
