They tell me I produced songs. I just stood in the back, wore a good suit and said, Yeah, that's happening.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Sometimes you have trouble because someone 'likes' your music so much. They follow you around for hours singing little bits of the songs, or just freaking out.
Somebody did complain to me and tell me that my clothes were so loud they couldn't hear me sing.
I never had many problems to do my music and to give it to a record company. Rarely do they try to argue with me about my music, probably because it's still too far-out.
The reason I do interviews is because I'm protecting my songs.
I took temp jobs, recorded a demo in the evenings and eventually shopped a record deal. All I knew was that I wanted to write songs; thankfully, I also got to sing them.
How did this or that change my music? The only time I have to think about it is when an interviewer asks me that.
Once you've changed who you are or who you've portrayed in your music, the fans, they'll catch it... Once I feel like the world knows me for anything else but my music, then I feel like I failed.
I suppose that by being absent from the music business, it appeared that I just dropped out, but really I never did. I was continuously working and doing various things.
When you make music, you're in really direct contact with your fans out there, so you hear all kinds of stories.
I came back to do a live concert. Nobody had done that before and I know my managers were worried.
