Music is in me. I don't have much of a choice. People might listen to one of my songs or come and see my because of my famous last name, but if my music's not good they won't hang around.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People need to put my music in a perspective where they use other established artists from the past, and almost all the names I see related to my music are great musicians.
I want people to come to my music without prejudice. I want them to get the music first. And who I am isn't that important. If they like the songs to me that's a good thing.
I feel like that's so important, to enjoy my own music. Because if I'm not passionate about my music, then it's going to show to the fans.
Certain kinds of people will always have an issue with my music. But that's fine; it's OK. I don't want to be the McDonald's of music. I don't want to not turn anyone off. If you were everybody's cup of tea, you'd probably be boring.
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.
The way I see it, if people truly love my music, they will support me in some way down the road.
If you have music that sounds like what you cover, people won't be able to differentiate who you are.
Music isn't what I do. It's who I am.
My music comes from many, many, many places. My emotions, my feelings, my thoughts, and conversations I have with people I know who influence me.
What's great about music is it takes so many kinds of people, including me. Everybody is in a different place.
