I had piano lessons at five and started guitar at ten, but although music and acting was always around me, my parents never pressured me into it.
I don't know - the idea of a specific wine paired with a specific piece of music seems a little far-fetched to me. But maybe I just need to be opened to it.
I have no confidence issues with the impact or the quality of the music. No one in hip-hop, before this point and to this point, with all due respect, has done this.
I also spend a lot of time on political blogs, and music blogs getting things for my radio show.
When you're in Jamaica, unless you're in a tourist spot, you don't hear Bob Marley; you mostly hear dance hall music.
Music was a central part of my childhood because my mother played organ and piano in the church, and that meant all us kids had to be in the church choir.
My house was filled with music. We had a piano, and my brothers and sisters played instruments. Even though I was around it, I played basketball.
Music is really all about experimentation and lots of trial and error. It's just mind-numbingly boring until you hit on something that works well.
I mean, there's plenty of artists who are making R&B music, but because of their ethnicity, it's considered something else.
My iPod's unbelievable. Seriously. The kids have put most of the music on it, but there's a complete mix of '80s rubbish and current day stuff.
There are parallels between the music and film worlds, but they're really very different. I feel like they're just two different ways to channel my creativity.
I can't sleep without the TV on. It doesn't matter where it is. I don't like silence. My ears ring from loud music.
Right now I just finished writing the music for a Rugrats feature film and the third week of September I go to London, and the Orchestra is going to perform the score.
We are serious about our music here in Philadelphia, and jazz has meant a lot to this city.
I was rather disappointed, because the one thing I wanted to gain from that opportunity was to add something to his music, and have him add something to mine.
I would say there's always a movement of music and fashion in youth culture - every decade inspires the new one.
They sign a bunch of women, and they call it a movement. I don't like the way women in music have been identified as women first and musicians second.
And you know, we'd go to church. We were Baptists. And every now and then there'd be a tent would set up, and it was the Holiness folks. And we liked their music.
If we are able to get inside the music and inhabit it convincingly enough, it will cause everyone to find each other in this new psychological space. And that's most exciting.
Blues music is becoming more and more popular than it ever was. I'm always meeting people on the road that are really young, and are guitar players. male and female.
Acting had been a hobby that turned into a career, the directing was a hobby that turned into a career and music just really allowed me to find another way to express myself.
