I do not like people writing songs and then other people singing them. A lot of people don't even sing their own songs anymore. It's like producers these days have ghost producers; 'I don't produce, but I am a producer.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People like me for my songwriting and production, not my singing.
I don't like people telling me what to do, or trying to MAKE me write songs.
When you first start writing a song, it's fun, then when you start recording it, it's fun, but by the time you've finished recording it, you're sick of it.
Just like any songwriter, I love it when people sing my songs.
When I write songs for myself it's really personal and I just can't have someone else singing it.
People used to say nobody can sing my songs but me - they're too personal.
I don't think writing or co-writing my songs makes me a better singer, but I haven't really got an excuse not to do it as I've got too many opinions!
I'm not like a professional writer with professional skills. Songs kind of come into my head the same way they did when I was a kid. I say I'm an overgrown kindergarten kid. I work on songs.
I'm not like other writers. I'm not hung up on using my own songs. In fact, my sister Bunny always tells me I sing other people's songs better than my own. She says I loosen up and give the songs a different feel.
I like working with other people but I'm not a songwriter, I'm a producer.
