I think it's hard to put a finger on my music. My music has always been an amalgamation of everything I listen to, which includes everything and anything under the sun. Hip-hop to country to R&B to pop, all the things I'm inspired by find a way into ...
It was a free-for-all with music when I was growing up. My mother was a huge music fanatic so I was listening to everything from country to heavy metal to Indigo Girls to Elton John. I guess when I was really young I didn't like Willie Nelson, and sh...
I feel like, at the end of the day, I always would try to make music that I wanted to listen to: stuff that I liked and wanted to hear.
I think, in general, more women need to be involved in music and in the industry - that's been an issue.
My music is a direct reflection of the eclectic person I am. I don't like to be stuck in an R&B box.
The priority for me is just to make music that people can connect with. I want to make something fresh that people may not understand.
Dance has always just been an extension of music for me. It's about putting my music into motion. It's just another dimension that I tap into with my music that not many artists do anymore.
To break R&B into subcategories does a disservice to the music. I like to live in a zone where I can do whatever I want, where I don't have to worry about genre.
There was never really a Plan B for me - I always wanted to be a music artist.
Songs are about just being totally honest and putting those words to music.
I've only ever had one doubt about music. It came when I was 11. I hated playing scales.
I genuinely find the most meaningful thing I do is to make music, but also to absorb some sort of creativity.
Music is shared. It's a shared feeling; that's what music is all about. When you listen to a song with someone else, it becomes more than just a song. It defines relationships.
There are a lot of women at my gigs. The first show I headlined was a sea of women, which I can't complain about. I'm pleased these 18-year-old girls like my music.
Being from Texas, acting or music isn't really a thing to do.
I don't know if it's embarrassing, but I have a lot of girl Christian music.
I think, for me anyway, music and film is where you can really transport yourself to another universe.
I take it very seriously, music. I think it's one of the tools that a director has with which to kind of paint. The right music can sometimes do five pages of scripted dialogue.
I don't know, my music has always just come from where the wind blew me. Like where I'm at during a particular moment in time.
Making a record? You've got to have the song, then you create a record. I think it's the same with a live performance. If the material is strong, you're already 90% there. I always tell young people it's all about the music, the songs. Work on the so...
I had to make different kinds of music for everybody but still keep it classic T-Pain at the same time.
