Man, 2013, I would expect an album from B.o.B and a Rock EP as well. My Rock EP is like... I take pride in my work and I'm not going to do something just to say that I can do it if I ain't really passionate about doing it. I'm very passionate about m...
I made music with my friend, who we called Isabella Machine to which I was Florence Robot. When I was about an hour away from my first gig, I still didn't have a name, so I thought 'Okay, I'll be Florence Robot/Isa Machine', before realising that nam...
My whole career began because I was always putting my music on the Internet. By the time I had my first tour, I had an audience everywhere I went, because people were listening online. I started with a website, Jasonmraz.com, pre-YouTube. You could e...
I need to dream. I need to believe. I need to know that I have some control in my life. That if I work hard, that I will be rewarded. That life is not arbitrary. I need to believe that bad things happen to good people, for a greater reason. That dedi...
For me music is pretty personal. I generally listen to it alone, and I've never been a lover of concerts. So I don't think I really bond with other people over music. That's not unique to music for me, either. I feel that way about film, television, ...
The dilemma of the eighth-grade dance is that boys and girls use music in different ways. Girls enjoy music they can dance to, music with strong vocals and catchy melodies. Boys, on the other hand, enjoy music they can improve by making up filthy new...

But at the age of 44, I sure hope to be a better businesswoman. I want to get the music straight to my fans.
Music has always been my protection against the world, from a very young age. I feel safe inside of a jam.
I don't think of anyone as a 'groupie.' People who connect with my music are just inspiring and amazing.
Just knowing that through my music I actually inspire people is amazing for me and I find it very heartwarming.
I grew up overseas in Indonesia, and my school had a great art, music, and theatre program.
I went to the London Academy Of Music and Dramatic Art and returned to New York where I started my career.
My favorite books, art pieces, films, and music, always have something jarring about them.
My career? I never think of it as a 'career.' Art and music and all those things that I'm creating are just part of me.
Painting is the silence of thought and the music of sight.
I just want to keep playing music and keep recording. I feel like my best days are ahead.
I signed up for the musical Tommy in the West End, where I met my husband.
