I heard someone from the music business saying they are no longer looking for talent, they want people with a certain look and a willingness to cooperate.
Maybe I'm a dreamer, but I think the ordinary guy has just as much right to say 'This is a good song' as somebody who is in the music business.
You know how it is with drawers and labels in the music business. They don't want anything to be complicated. They just want it simple, as simple as possible.
My parents worked for Exxon, and they gave me every chance to take part in music. I took guitar lessons, and I was in the choir at school.
I never saw music in terms of men and women or black and white. There was just cool and uncool.
For electronica music, David Linton has been doing this series called Unity Gain, which is pretty cool.
I'm always trying to think of something clever and fun to do with the music. There's so many cool things musicians and artists can do with their products.
I think it's really cool how J. Lo's been able to balance an acting career and a music career. That's something I strive for.
Music is about communication, and the chemistry between an audience and the orchestra is absolutely essential; the performance does not exist in a bubble.
Maybe in music you're making an auditory environment and maybe you change your environment around you to suit your own way.
Every few generations there are people who come along that change the way we look at the world, for musical enthusiasts Monk is one of these individuals.
My whole thing is just to put out positive messages in the music, give people something that can change their lives.
Medicine to produce health must examine disease; and music, to create harmony must investigate discord.
I never was the front man in any bands I played in when I was in college, and I always learned music by myself at home.
All my friends were cheerleaders, and I was the girl who hung out at home. I just worked on my music all the time.
When I'm at home, I like to put records on, but because I travel a lot, I listen to a lot of music on my iPhone.
Through the music I hope to give it an arc that gives it a greater sense of a journey through the set rather than a bunch of songs.
My husband John Lennon was a very special man. A man of humble origin, he brought light and hope to the whole world with his words and music.
I would hope my legacy would be bringing smiles to faces. Happiness with my music.
I can speak French, understand Gaelic and know my history. That's the training music has given me.
When you look back on music history, it falls into these neat periods, but of course, the period you yourself are living through seems totally scattered and chaotic.
