To me, it's all about opening all the doors and getting people to be not only prolific, but creative and having control of their music.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
At the end of the day, there's only a few major stars in the music business, and then there's all these people that are aspiring to be that.
Ultimately, I'm not the most prolific person, but I've been doing this for a long time, and I keep on putting out music. The only thing that drives music is the people who are making it.
It's really about making the best music you can make. It's really about working hard.
Music is a whole oasis in my head. The creation process is so personal and fulfilling.
For me, the great thing about music is that anybody can do it.
Creativity and artistic endeavors have a mission that goes far beyond just making music for the sake of music.
I prefer career artists that have spent time honing their craft, as opposed to, 'I won a karaoke contest on a reality show and now I have a record.' That's such a drag. The music that comes out of it is so poor.
Success and the art of making music are two different things for me.
I guess in a way I just feel blessed to be able to make music.
Music has become a bigger business, and with that there is more pressure to succeed; I think that it creates a negative pressure for being creative.
