I'm all for sharing music, but when people can download a whole record and pay nothing for it and then they share it with 100,000 other people, it's breaking down the whole business.
I never thought of having platinum albums and winning awards. I just wanted to write songs and sing when I started out in the music business.
Yeah, man I am going to be writing a book soon. The reality of being in a rock band in the music business'.
I'd fired anyone who was involved with Creed. I didn't want anything to do with the music business. The entire press and industry hated me, so what was the point?
Working on a play is a vibrant and collaborative business. Everyone from the choreographer to the music director to the director to the writers work together toward the same goal, and everyone chimes in on everything.
Even for the people in the business who are real music lovers it's really about putting things in the right boxes, and my style doesn't fit into a box.
And looking at today's music scene, I think it's cool that there are a lot of consumers and fans not limited by what radio and the record companies tell them to buy.
I'm just happy and proud to be playing music every day. Recognition is really cool, but it can also be kind of scary.
I've got a couple of bands that I'm working on. The one I'm really excited about, we're called London The Child. It's folky music and it's really cool.
The late 20th century had just enough communication abilities to allow superstar-ness and communality to happen. It was a musical renaissance that rivals the visual one that happened in the 1400s.
Music is about communication... it isn't just something that maybe physically sounds good or orally sounds interesting; it's something far, far deeper than that.
Actors are agents of change. A film, a piece of theater, a piece of music, or a book can make a difference. It can change the world.
For the last three years, I've been working on 'Bromst,' and that's all that encompassed my brain. And now that it's out, it will change the way that I think musically.
How did this or that change my music? The only time I have to think about it is when an interviewer asks me that.
I'm a person who has always been clear about my love of music and vocal about trying to live in a way that lends itself to health.
Creatively, I'd like to achieve not only being an artist, but being a businessman and having my own music home.
Most of my career has been about standing on a stage performing music to an audience, and once the show is over, they go home and I go on to the next show.
I'd much rather go out and have music randomly presented to me by different DJs than stay home and discover it on my own.
I got a scholarship to Seattle University and I was writing arrangements for singers and everybody. But the music course was too dry and I really wanted to get away from home.
We have the insight and the tools to identify and bring to fruition the dormant talent that our artists possess. Favored Nations will be branded as the home base for inspired musical talent.
I certainly hope my music is in no way, shape or form influenced by anything that would be known as a jam band. If it is, then I'm going to do something else.
