During a conversation with KLOS 95.5, he talked about those days.

Read what he said:

You said once that you’d be delivering pizzas if it wasn’t for her.

“Yeah, I mean I had played with a couple people before that. A lady named Sass Jordan, actually. I was just kinda picking up gigs wherever I could as a drummer-for-hire so I didn’t have to do lawns and stuff.

“So like, I got that gig from playing with Sass Jordan; I think I was making $350 a week with her and then $500 a week [around $825 in 2018 money] with Alanis. I got handed – the manager, he said, ‘Check this out, here’s three songs.’ And one of them was ‘You Oughta Know.’

“And I remember like, putting the cassette in my girlfriend’s car and my girlfriend was like, ‘That’s gonna be huge.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, uh huh.’ Like, you could kinda hear it. And so I joined the band or she put the band together and I was lucky enough to get the gig as the drummer.”
