I think, in music, you're always hoping that you'll have a like-minded audience and that the music you like making will appeal to them, too.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We do this for the art, not the adulation. I'd rather our music get liked and we get ignored. I don't want to be adored for anything other than the music.
You make your music, then you try to find whatever audience is out there for it.
If I have an audience, I'd like to make music for my whole life. But it's not really up to me.
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 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.
I feel confident that the work I've put in will make people see me as a music artist before anything else.
If my musical tastes are continuing to grow up, and I am not really too interested in the music that my kids listen to, then I assume that the audience is doing the same.
We simply write the kind of music we enjoy most and hope that our audience will enjoy it too.
I think that what appeals to me in my work is having the opportunity to inhabit different genres and so to reach different audiences.
I don't really believe in genres. I don't want people to have any preconceptions about me. I want the first impression to be the music.
