But I'm also a music lover, and I'll always try a lot of different things.
Most people live and die with their music still unplayed. They never dare to try.
I think music is one of the hero/sheroes of the African-American existence.
I think music docs could turn off some people.
Alas! all music jars when the soul's out of tune.
When a singer truly feels and experiences what the music is all about, the words will automatically ring true.
I am pretty detached from the local music crowd though.
Older audiences are hard to win over. They're very specific in their tastes and critical of new music.
People underestimate the hip-hop audience and the capacity to understand politics when it's part of music.
Since music has never had a Rembrandt, we have remained nothing more than musicians.
It was important for me to remind people that there's no formula... there's no boundary to R&B music.
I'm really excited to put music out that is a clear projection of my lifestyle.
After all, in today's music scene every band seems to steal from other bands.
It's quite hard not to cringe at your own music; you're always a bit annoyed at some parts of it.
Now I listen to all kinds of music except rap, which all sounds the same to me.
I'm taking a break from music... everyone was so mean about it and it was so hard that I wanted to die.
The whole background of 'Avian' is rain. I was just playing with textures and realizing you can touch music.
I decided to make music again at a time when I couldn't have had more obstacles.
I'm a mellow guy, and I feel like my music is mellow.
I feel very blessed we can still have a career making music.
Disco music in the '70s was just a call to go wild and party and dance with no thought or conscience or regard for tomorrow.
