I like the Stereophonics. I know the lead singer, Kelly Jones, and there's the Welsh connection.
You don't need to be a great singer to sing, but you have to practice singing to be a great singer.
When you talk about me having a favorite singer, it's Celine. She is not only one of the most amazing singers, but she is just an amazing person.
The business today is completely different and it's very producer driven, so that a songwriter needs to have producing chops, be a singer/songwriter, or find a singer to develop.

Roland Turner: Folk singer with a cat. You queer?
I've been getting into Nick Drake lately, the folk singer. Sad, gorgeous stuff.
I've always said that Adele has turned so many people on to British singers - whether female singers or just like music from this country in general.
I always know I'm a country singer, and regardless of where I've fallen into different places with my music, I know that, really, I'm a country singer.
My mother's a singer and my mother's father is a singer, and everyone on both sides are all country-western bluegrass musicians.

When I was really little, I was on a Pop Warner squad. I did it for a year. My dad was a Pop Warner football coach. I did it because my best friend was also on this cheer squad, and of course I looked up to my sister who was a cheerleader, so I wante...
People always say I write a lot of pop culture references. Can somebody please count the pop culture references in 'Firefly?' Because I don't know how to put this to you, but there was one. I referenced The Beatles in the pilot.

I'm trying to use people like Meredith Monk and Philip Glass and Terry Riley as the backing tracks for new pop songs. It's really hard trying to use the format and write a pop song on top of avant-garde music, so we'll see. It could be cool, or it co...
Pop culture shapes our ideas of what is normal and what our dreams can be and what our roles are. Politics, of course, decides how the power and the money in the country is distributed. Both are equally important, and each affects the other.
