He supports Chelsea F.C. and the song "We're Gonna Win" from his album 18 Til I Die is dedicated to the football club. The song was later used by the Canadian sports network TSN as its theme song for its "Wednesday Night Hockey" NHL broadcasts in the 2005-06 season.* He created his own recording studio in Vancouver, British Columbia called The Warehouse Studio out of a historical Gastown building.
