I didn't start playing music really until I was 18/19, so it was a relatively new thing. I didn't play much music in school.
You just wake up and make music.
The only thing that's ever made sense to me has been sitting in the house by myself making music.
With music, it feels natural that, in my head, I can pull things apart and then put them back together very quickly.
It bothers me when musicians listen to music from the '60s and try and recreate it. Those people weren't trying to recreate music from the '20s. Why do it?
Touring with King Crimson wasn't a lot of fun for me. I had a lot of equipment, and when I was in improvised music I'd set it up myself, play the gig, and put it all away again.
One of my core values is to help redefine what it means to be a strong and beautiful woman in the music and fashion worlds and to empower the wonderful things that make us unique.
I'll refer to my music in color, like 'This song needs to be bright red.'
Grade 9: I was too small for football, too shy for drama class, but I did have a passion for music. And so, with a mouth full of braces (and a glorious mullet), I accepted that the trombone would be a fantastic scholastic counterpart to my extracurri...
Music is a weapon in the war against unhappiness.
I have a very awesome seat in the house every time I play. When the lights come up, and the sound turns on, I'm playing for a roomful of human beings. And geographical and political borders just all dissolve. And we unite through rhythm inhalation. I...
I buy records from all across the board. I get kind of a hybrid of influences in my own music.
I meet people every single day who have heard the music and incorporated it into their lives. I feel like I have a tribe all around the world.
My whole career began because I was always putting my music on the Internet. By the time I had my first tour, I had an audience everywhere I went, because people were listening online.
Professionally, I want to keep playing music; I can't escape that.
My whole career began because I was always putting my music on the Internet. By the time I had my first tour, I had an audience everywhere I went, because people were listening online. I started with a website, Jasonmraz.com, pre-YouTube. You could e...
They had the music being piped right out on the street. I'd be three or four blocks from there and I couldn't get there fast enough because I'd hear old Joe holler them words.
I was listening to all those lyrics and trying to take in everything that was happening. I was completely excited. It was one of the greatest times that I had listening to music.
I cannot write music. I cannot play the piano.
Jazz music is to be played sweet, soft, plenty rhythm.
I feel like a Mac store! I have a Canadian iPhone, an American iPhone and an iPad. I'm constantly downloading music to iTunes.
