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'm probably the only kid in history whose parents made him stop taking music lessons. They made me stop studying the accordion.
We also listen to PJ Harvey; a lot of driving music. You need something a little more relaxing in the car.
My dad has always been a big Ray Charles fan, and I've grown up listening to all kinds of music.
I guess I learnt to appreciate old Hindi-movie music from my dad and somewhere down the line picked up jazz as well.
My dad was a huge Bob Dylan fan, so we listened to his music, Cat Stevens, Simon & Garfunkel, and all that kind of stuff.
There is a strong demand for Michael Jackson's music and merchandise, and that will only increase as more material surfaces in the years following his death.
Yes, death is strong, but look you, the strongest, Stronger is music than death.
I always have music playing in my studio when I design. It really gets me in the mood and allows me to focus.
My musical education started in the limelight, because I found myself surrounded by real musicians, but after my career had taken off.
