A Grammy is really nice, but having lots of fans is really nice, too. I think just getting a record out is a success on its own.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you win a Grammy... you're thinking about you winning. It is amazing. Your peers and folks in the record business are saying, 'This is what we think of you.' And that's why the Grammy will always be, to me, the ultimate in what you get as far as a music trophy, because it is the one.
You don't want to make records so you can win a Grammy. You make records because you want to be a musician.
I plan on making a lot more records, and hopefully one of them will be Grammy worthy.
The Grammy is the highest honor in music that we can receive, outside of having fans come and watch you every night and clap.
There is so much good music in the U.S. and there is just a small section that gets recognised at the Grammys.
It's a dream of mine to win a Grammy one day. I'm not saying I'm Grammy-worthy, but it would be a dream come true.
It's not just the 'Grammys' that I've pulled out of. I also pulled out of the English awards as well. The reason that I wanted to pull out was because I believe very much that the music industry as a whole is mainly concerned with material success.
I never sang for a Grammy, for money, for fame. That's my whole purpose for singing: for people, for the fans.
It's an honor to win a Grammy, of course.
Even though the popularity and the fanbase is much much greater, and more people have heard about me through things like the Grammys and the Ivors and touring and word of mouth, it doesn't reflect in the sales of the record and doesn't go into my pocket.
