I'm in the music business for one purpose - to make money.

Now the music industry is sort of like a Craigslist venture, right? Where you're making your own records and selling them online.

The music business is the most childish business in the world. Nobody knows what they're selling or why, but they sell it if it works.

I like to buy records for people, make a present of the music.

I'm trying to fuse popular and commercial music and just make very creative music. It's popular music: it's everything for everybody.

I am very aware now that music is a business, but there is also a way to go about making music that is true to yourself as opposed to doing, you know, just going through the motions and making things that would just be commercially successful.

I'm making music that I love and I want to hear. At the same time, things like making money, making crazy money - you gotta find ways to reach to everybody but uplift everybody.

I really believe in finding new ways to distribute my music.

Lots of people, from what I can see, just want to get into the music business for the glamour of it. But there isn't any, really. It's so up and down this industry, but if you really love it, nothing can stop you.

What I try to do is produce an atmosphere where musicians want to invest in what they do and give to the recording. I hire those musicians who I know will play something creative and interesting.
