I'm not like a legend that - so I'm sort of in the middle in this sort of gray area where, you know, I'm creating music, and I'm not saying there isn't an audience, because there is; because all of those people go out and spend $80 to $150 on a conce...
I'll always write music. Whether I release a record, whether I let the public hear it or not, I'm always writing music.
I think they can co-exist. You don't have to put one down for another. I've been bitten by the acting bug, and where it takes me, it won't take away from the music.
I listen to all kinds of songs. There's something to be learned from every type of music and from the one making it, whether it's pop or jazz or hip-hop.
I'm not thinking about what needs to be on the radio. I'm not thinking about anything other than - I'm just going to let this music come out of me and not have any sort of preconceived notion of what I should do. I'm just going to do it.
I've always found music that is carnal very attractive but not in the most obvious way.
I want to make music that stands the test of time.
I'm really passionate about music.
Anyone that has a music career and an acting career I think is pretty fantastic.
Logically, when you talkin' about folk music and blues, you find out it's music of just plain people.

I just know that I'm a fan of all different kinds of genres. You're supposed to be free doing music, and that's how I feel.
Hawaii is paradise. It sounds cheesy to say it, but there's music in the air there.
I've had big record label presidents look me in the face and say, 'Your music sucks, you don't know who you are, your music is all over the place, and we don't know how to market this stuff. Pick a lane and come back to us.'
Ever since I was a kid, this was all I wanted to do. I've wanted to do music. I wanted to sing. It's all I know.
Doo-wop is special music to me because it's so straightforward and melody-driven and captures emotions.
Hawaiian music is beautiful and simple.
In pop music, the public usually see the results - the hit records, the Grammy Awards performances, the concert tours - but not all the work that goes into getting into the spotlight. And not everyone realizes that, even if you have a lot of talent, ...
I feel it's my job to continue being a student of music if I want to continue being an artist and a producer of other artists. You have to keep filling your mind with other music. You have to be ahead of the curve.
I have mainly come from a theatre background, I did 'Oliver' here I played the Artful Dodger and I did 'The Sound of Music.'
