He says: "I've stayed away from listening to music for over 40 years now. And so I see myself as a spirit on a mission, spreading the joy of music from a place of pure self expression. So when it was time to come up with a title, I thought, 'Why not Spirit On A Mission? It would be a good title.' So that's how it ended up that way."

And he says the goal of the album featuring bassist Francis Buchholz, drummer Herman Rarebell, frontman Doogie White and keyboardist/guitarist Wayne Findlay, was to fill it full of "energetic" tracks mixed with a 70's vibe.
