So it's not so much that I set out to do something different, it's just that the songs themselves require their own individual voice and attention.

I think in some ways, it can do a listener a disservice to explain a song. I think I'd rather leave a little room for people to put themselves in it.

Music is always occurring. It is just a matter of marketing, attention, and many other factors, that determines whether people will hear these songs or not.

The conception of background music is changing. You use less and less of it these days.

One doesn't want to feel too contented; you have to feel challenged by the music.

I think that in order for music to be heard in a lot of different situations you have to always consider that.

After talking to people and meeting them every day, I realize that a song can be written from one perspective with an objective in mind. What is crazy about it is that many different people can take one song a totally different way. That is so cool, since music is a universal thing and a very personal thing.

I don't like when a song goes from one mood to another unless it's going to be out of sight.

Even if you have a big tune, live crowds can get sick of it. It's not just about the song but also the staying power and if people have connected with it in a certain way. I know that the tracks I put more emotion and depth into are the ones that have the staying power in clubs.
