Salsa, classic rock, soul music, jazz... all of that was a part of my education in making hip-hop music.
Great music is that which penetrates the ear with facility and leaves the memory with difficulty. Magical music never leaves the memory.
We want to get this good music to as many people as possible because I think it heals, it soothes, I think music is incredibly important, especially in today's chaos.
All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it.
A real active music set, based and really concentrated on what the music's all about. That's what I'm all about - singing and a really good strong music set.
Before you can make good music, you just have to shut up. Then the music can say what it has to say.
Country music is the people's music. It just speaks about real life and about truth and it tells things how they really are.
What is classical music if not the epitome of sensuality, passion, and understated erotica that popular music, even with all of its energy and life, cannot even begin to touch?
I've always been a fan of country music. It's America's music - I love the songs, love the lyrics.
I love some electronic music. I'm not a big fan of dubstep, but there is so much good electronic music out there.
I'm not technically adept at music, but I'd love to be part of a discussion of where progressive rock ends and country music begins.
Popularity gets up people's noses. But I understand the importance and the function of popular music. There is an artistic purpose. Popular music helps people to develop a curiosity and leads them towards classical music.
I always listen to music, my passion and vice is music, I will be denied access to heaven because of the number of CDs I own, and I have gluttony for all types and colours of music.
My music is homegrown from the garden of New Orleans. Music is everything to me short of breathing. Music also has a role to lift you up - not to be escapist but to take you out of misery.
I actually only started listening to house music around the time I started making it. I got hooked both to making music and to house music.
Starting out really punk came from not knowing any better and listening to music like that, not knowing how to play music - well, still not knowing how to play music.
Yeah, I always listen to both classic and newer folk-influenced music. Singer-songwriter, alternative music. I also listen to more experimental dance music.
You're surrounded by electronic music in New York. I mean New York is one of the few places in North America where electronic music is the prevalent form.
I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down'.
I was a 'Glee' fan before I joined the show! Since my background is musical theater, it was exciting to see a TV show that incorporated music so much and in such a genius way.
It's a dream come true, and with this music, with this Rossini, it's unbelievable how to express the joy and express the joy of the situation and the joy to play this music, to sing this music, it's really fantastic.
