We're in a period where society seems very attracted to flash, and that seeps into people's musical taste.
I'm always asking friends what new music they're into, and I love showing people new talented artists.
I think it's awesome to see people of all different ages from all kinds of backgrounds come together for the love of music.
Keep doing what you do, and people that enjoy what you do are gonna buy your music and love on you.
I totally love to act. I don't care if it's a musical, a comedy. I just like to work and interact with other people.
I just love to have fun with music, and try to find songs that say something that people want to hear.
Music - opera particularly - is a process which is endurable or successful only if it is achieved by people who love to collaborate.
The way I see it, if people truly love my music, they will support me in some way down the road.
Since I was a kid, I always felt the need to share the music I love with as many people as possible, and DJing seemed like the perfect outlet.
As a DJ, people expect a certain sound and a certain danceability for the music. As a producer, I really like to let go of any rules that may exist.
Popular music usually has a chorus that needs to repeat, and people need to remember the song. That's sort of the major guideline when you're writing a song.
Music is a nice friend to have around, whether it is just for yourself or for other people. If you can enjoy it, being professional is almost secondary.
People today are still living off the table scraps of the sixties. They are still being passed around - the music and the ideas.
People do dismiss ambient music, don't they? They call it 'easy listening,' as if to suggest that it should be hard to listen to.
All those rappers, they're the only glamorous people working in music now. They dress up in these chains of gold, cars, girls and this and that, high-heeled shoes.
I'm all about telling stories. I like people to picture the music video in their head when they're just listening to the song.
Records are just moments of achievement. They're like receipts for work done. Time goes on and people keep playing music.
I never took sheet music seriously. I could do better myself just by listening to other people and using my own intuition.
I'm sure there are a few things in my CD collection that might surprise people. I like classical music, the blues, and I'm a big fan of alternative rock.
I wanted to give people a taste of my own music through the sound and style of my covers.
Not compromising the music, but there is a way, by just showing the people that you're sincere and honest with what you're doing, and by talking to them.
