People just loved the sound because I kept it simple.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
That rockabilly sound wasn't as simple as I thought it was.
My main goal was to have something for everyone and not just one sound.
I wanted to make sounds that I'd never heard before.
It's all about sound. It's that simple.
I always knew I had something to say even when nobody else wanted to listen.
I started to like my voice - the sound of it. So then I started to listen to it as something separate. To me, it sounded good that way as well.
It was very important to establish a sound, so that people heard a record on the radio and knew immediately that it was you.
The Sound of Music was just such an honour to be in, because it was a movie that appeals to so many people, and they just loved it so much and they still love it to this day.
I'm a big fan of simplicity, especially with songs and I try not to make them complicated. I just make them simple and let people absorb that message themselves. That's my theory.
I find it hard to get excited by just a sound. I have to have a song there, then I'll find what used I can make of that sound within the song.
