I'm hoping to knock down the walls and broaden the lane a little bit more for music that's pop music at the heart of it.
What is normally called religion is what I would tend to call music - participating in music, listening to music, making records and singing.
DJs are in incredible competition, musically. And they are the most musically creative and sensitive people in all the music charts. I am amazed how they are.
