Every track off his 1999 album "Play" was used either in a television commercial or on a movie soundtrack (including
Any Given Sunday). His music is not generally viable for radio singles, so he felt he needed to get his music heard by the masses, somehow. Doing so has helped "Play" become his most commercially successful album to date.

It's strange because I really never expected to have a record contract. I thought I'd spend the rest of my life making music in my bedroom that nobody would ever hear. When I released my first record back in the early 90s, I thought I'd be lucky to have a career that lasted a year or two, so the fact that I've been making records for nearly 20 years really baffles me.
