Ben Lee, 'Blush' (Interface)

When last we spoke with Ben Lee, the Aussie singer-songwriter was wrapping up his eighth album, 'Deeper Into Dream,' which he released on Oct. 11 by Dangerbird Records.

Several months later, we invited the soft-spoken 33-year-old into our Los Angeles studio to perform songs from the album, and talked with him about his impact on the world, shooting comedy videos with wife Ione Skye and Margaret Cho, and how fatherhood and the death of his therapist have influenced his career.

"I don't spend a huge amount of time reflecting. I'm proud of the records I've made, some more than others, and I've done a lot of hard work and I feel proud of that, but I'm always, like most artists, focused on what's next."
