If I write a tune and people think it's nice, then that's fine by me, but I hate having to compete and promote the thing. I really don't like promotion.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's dangerous to buy into praise and criticism for what you do when you're trying to present your music to people. I don't ignore it completely, but I don't dwell on it too much.
No one told me I had to make something that would sell, but I personally want everyone to like my music.
People think I take some sort of masochistic pleasure out of putting out music that's gonna be unpopular.
I make music, and if people like it, they like it, and some people won't.
I do promotion when it is necessary, but I always want to get back to the music.
Sometimes you get so jaded, you don't have those initial connections and emotions with music, because you are promoting your own.
In the music business, we all do different things, but we sit there and admire other people who can write a song differently or sing differently. It's not so competitive.
I think, in music, you're always hoping that you'll have a like-minded audience and that the music you like making will appeal to them, too.
I will not promote other people's songs big time. I will just mention that I produced the song to get the credit I think I deserve.
I only write music for myself, I don't try and appeal to anyone else.
