The music sold itself before anybody knew who I was.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was a big music fan, but I never bought a bunch of records or was very educated, I guess, on who was who or what was what.
My career was really odd, because I literally had a greatest hits album out and nobody knew who I was. They knew the songs, but they didn't know me.
I had no desire to be famous; I just wanted to make the greatest music ever made. I didn't want anyone to know who I was.
I was raised around music.
I lived for music since I could think.
People sort of know me for that solo piano music I did.
As an artist, I feel so fortunate to be able to learn from all these great musicians that came before me, when some people have nobody that came before them.
Once you've changed who you are or who you've portrayed in your music, the fans, they'll catch it... Once I feel like the world knows me for anything else but my music, then I feel like I failed.
They all knew my name, but no one heard the music - I didn't look the same.
I was a musician first before anything.
