When I used to play nightclubs, you had to play Top 40 or favorite oldies that maybe people could relate to.

In the little rural town I grew up in, I missed out on the pop music of the time, the '80s, and now enjoy in retrospect. It's as an adult that I've opened it up to dance, hip-hop, R&B, and even big pop songs.

I'm thrilled we've got a new single out, as singles were the way I first got into music as a child.

There is some Eighties music that is just timeless. The melodies, the lyrics... I called it church. Church in club. You can shout and dance. The best of the Eighties was club church.

I loved pop music as a little kid. Things like the Black Eyed Peas. If it had a catchy chorus, I was into it.

I think probably the only thing that is around in these songs is that I was really lonely when I wrote a lot of them. But it was really by my own choosing because I was devoting myself to songwriting and dancing and I wasn't really going out and seeing people.

Pop music I have always loved best.

Pop music has progressed.

I used to go to Bourbon Street when I was a kid and there would be club after club after club of people who were around when the music started. I mean these are legendary, maybe not so well known, but legendary musicians.

I was raised on pop music.
