I think the most important thing for an artist is to stay true to who you are. I want to stay as authentic as possible, as that's how we're going with our team.

The only way for me to be an artist is to be honest in my craft. If I veer from that, I'm not giving the investors what they want. Sometimes it's my job as an artist to know what I want to do, even when the fans tell me different.

As an artist, you have to do what you feel passionate about. It has to be something you can connect with.

My goal as an artist is to always be true to who I am and give my fans music they will enjoy for a lifetime.

As an artist, what you do represents who you are. Coming from a genuine, honest place - that's what I'm trying to do.

I think the most important thing for an artist is to not worry about what anybody else thinks. You just have to do what comes from your heart and your being and put it out there-that's true in any of the arts.

I just want to give the people 100% of myself as an artist.

All I tell artists is, 'Do what you love. Never let anybody talk you into changing what your musical idea is just to try to get a hit, because you're chasing your tail that way. It's not going to happen, and if you're successful, you have to do it the rest of your life. Stay true to it and do it for the sake of the art.'

What an artist is trying to do for people is bring them closer to something, because of course art is about sharing. You wouldn't be an artist unless you wanted to share an experience, a thought.

Part of your job as an artist is to push yourself and make sure your creative juices are flowing.
