Music is my No. 1 passion. If you made me choose between music and food, it's definitely music.
But back then the thing that saved me was the music, and it's certainly the music that saves me now. The music, my family and my friends and everybody around me.
I had no idea that I could sustain a career as an artist. But, I loved music and wanted to be in the music business.
Music has always been an important thing to me in my life and understand I've worked in the music business.
I hope that country music embraces me because I grew up on it and have a love for the music.
I don't feel that electronic music has to stand on the back of urban artists or anyone else to be recognized. It's great music.
I have such a love of good music that I find even melancholic music uplifting. Maybe I'm a rare breed.
Good music is good music, regardless of where it comes from. I think that's a really important thing to carry with you.
I love many kinds of music: world music, jazz, classical, pop.
I love pop music, but I love pop music that does something a little bit different.
I didn't want kabobs, Afghan music, and rules that required girls to be carefully monitored. I wanted mac and cheese, country music, and independence.
I like pop music. Earnestly. Most of the greatest technicians, mix engineers, and players are working in pop music.
Logically, when you talkin' about folk music and blues, you find out it's music of just plain people.
What I like about pop music, and why I'm still attracted to it, is that in the end it becomes our folk music.
Pop music has been exhausted. The innocence has been exhausted. I think we've lost the ability to be blown away by music.
I'll give up this sort of touring madness certainly, but music-everything is based on music. No, I'll never stop my music.
There was always a lot of American music in England until, obviously when the Beatles came around, then there was a shift towards English music, but before then American music was the main thing.
Americana Music is about all sorts of different music. It's very free and open: a world where people just like authentic music.
Generally, I like Indian music because the melodies are usually not too complex, which is how I like music, and that's the way I write music.
Most people have a passive relationship with music and clothes, with culture. But music was my first contact with anything creative. Music is it, as far as I'm concerned.
I make soul music for hip-hop heads. It's music I'd want to sample if I were a rapper.
