I like clever songs. I like songs that make people think and I try to have substance in all my records, even with 'Sweet Dreams' how it was a club record and it was up tempo, but it was melodic and it was, like, lyrical.

From Rico Love

I listen to all types of different music. I go to different festivals. I'm around music.

From Rico Love

I really was kind of like a musical nerd. I would watch VH1's 'Behind The Music.' That was heavy when I was a kid. I would sit up and want to watch that all day instead of going outside sometimes.

From Rico Love

Brandy is one of my favorite vocalists. Jay-Z is my favorite emcee outside of Biggie.

From Rico Love

I don't have the desire to just keep every record and put it out. That's not what I do. I make records for people; that's why I just continue to be consistent, where a lot of the other top writers, they kind of fell off because they started focusing on their own careers as artists. That's not where my head is at.

From Rico Love

Not to be arrogant, but I have a lot of hits, so my phone stay ringing, but it's consistent.

From Rico Love

It's a gift that I have and I became good at it. When I heard my first song I didn't even know that I could write songs.

From Rico Love

I really want to work with Rufus Wainwright. Michael Stipe from R.E.M. I would love to work with Kanye West.

From Rico Love

AC/DC, Def Leppard, Alice Cooper - I learned stories of all these guys. That's when I fell in love with Queen, which is one of my favorite bands of all time... I started paying attention to what made music good. I started paying attention to why I liked it.

From Rico Love

When you're an artist, you can only do your own stuff. Even if you only write for other people, you're really more focused on yourself. So while everybody's out touring, I'm working on records.
