I think of the Roundabout as my musical theater family here in New York City.
Yes, my first memory of singing, in general, was of a Christmas song. And then listening to Christmas music was really the first music I was ever connected to.
I'm hoping to do more with my music. I did the stage musical 'Spring Awakening' recently and it reignited the love I have for singing.
When I started working on ambient music, my idea was to make music that was more like painting.
My favorite songs to sing have always been songs about regret. I don't know why that is, but to me, that's country music.
I wanted to bring the R&B flavor and other Westernized sounds to my music, because that's the type of music I grew up listening to.
I don't profess to have music as my big wheel and there are a number of other things as important to me apart from music. Theatre and mime, for instance.
With sad music, or music that's perceived as sad, there's a sense of solidarity that can be really powerful. My songs are all joyful to me.
My music can be a little obscure. It does worry me that the music might be too complicated for people to take in - that they have to work too hard at it.
I have taken taking my music to labels for years, and everyone just thought it was creepy. They thought the images with the music were weird and verging on psychotic.
I got a man cave. I play my music loud. I bought big speakers because I need to hear music loud.
I'm not musically inclined. It blows my mind that people can write music. I don't have that talent; I look up to the people that do.
Well, first of all, they're all about the music and all I care about in my professional career is the music.
Dre was one of my heros in the music industry. If he's not down for his homeboys, I don't wanna be a part of him or around him.
New Orleans, more than many places I know, actually tangibly lives its culture. It's not just a residual of life; it's a part of life. Music is at every major milestone of our life: birth, marriage, death. It's our culture.
For me, the backdrop of half the experiences of life includes music.
Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.
Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.
My music has always been my solo project.
My music and my lyrics are essentially emotional postcards.
Music connects us to freedom
