If you wanna be famous, then it's okay if the music is fake, because fame isn't real.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I didn't get into making music for the fame aspect. There are people who do desire that.
Fame isolates people from reality. That happens to many artists, and I don't want it to happen to me.
I'm not striving for fame, that's for sure. I don't particularly like the idea of celebrity. I would like to be successful with my music, so I realise that there's a balance to be made there.
I think that fame only goes to your head if you are not a real artist. If you are a real artist and a good person who loves what they are doing, you are going to be the same person.
A lot of people these days are not music lovers - they just want to be famous which is a very different thing to what I grew up believing in.
I have never wanted to be famous, as such - fame is a by-product.
Some music comes from a real place; some music comes from your imagination. It's difficult to find out what's real and what's not, especially with the gangster stuff.
I can't imagine wanting to be famous just for the sake of being famous. I think fame should come along with success, talent.
You can't fake this music. You might be a great singer or a great musician but, in the need, that's got nothing to do with it. It's how you connect to the songs and to the history behind them.
When you are real in your music, people know it and they feel your authenticity.
