It's nice when people say, 'God, I've been listening to you since 1963 or 1985, or whatever.' I appreciate anybody who goes out and buys music these days.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As a musician, I know that it'll take time for me to get to the ranks of an established artiste. Nevertheless, I'm very happy that people are appreciating my music.
I'm making music for the people. If y'all love the music, y'all gonna buy the music.
I've had a wonderful life with music.
I think for us up-and-coming artists, once you're out there, once you've put stuff up, once people know who you are, once you discover who you are, we're all in the same boat: it's down to whether people appreciate the music or not.
People haven't always been there for me, but music always has.
I'm so happy people have enjoyed listening to my tracks.
I've been loving music all my life.
I feel blessed and humbled that people have loved my music. Nothing would be possible without their acceptance.
And looking at today's music scene, I think it's cool that there are a lot of consumers and fans not limited by what radio and the record companies tell them to buy.
To get nostalgic about other people's music, or even about your own, makes a terrible statement about the condition of your life and your prospects for the future. I have no patience with that kind of attitude, whether it's on radio or among friends.
