I don't really believe in genres. I don't want people to have any preconceptions about me. I want the first impression to be the music.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I just don't let music genres define me.
I really love music that's on the periphery of not fitting into a clear genre. I felt like I was constantly being described as something I didn't really feel like I identified with.
My style is part of the music I like, the bands I see, the people I surround myself with, the places I go to.
I don't want to be held down by genres so much.
I feel confident that the work I've put in will make people see me as a music artist before anything else.
I never look for music by genre. I look for an artist who puts a dependable trademark on things. Like Elvis Costello - he's a great songwriter who presents his songs in a number of contexts. I feel the same about my own music.
I guess one thing that makes my music stand out is that it is quite hard to determine what genre it is.
I'm totally open to exploring different types of music. I just have to always remember to be true to who I am.
I don't steer clear of genres. I simply haven't steered myself toward some of them.
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.
