I think it's always interesting how music means different things to different people, and people who overthink it are looking to in some ways show off with music, versus people who just respond to a song and decide to sing it.

The more people who come from musical backgrounds and go into promotion, production, songwriting, A&R, plus get their business head together, the better. They'll not only understand the business aspect, they'll also have a true passion and ear for how quality is represented musically.

Most artists, you know, you spend their entire lives learning how to play music and write songs, and they don't really know how the music business works.

I don't feel like that many musicians are competitive with each other.

As far as I'm concerned, the whole point of making music is to get it heard by as many people as possible.

After talking to people and meeting them every day, I realize that a song can be written from one perspective with an objective in mind. What is crazy about it is that many different people can take one song a totally different way. That is so cool, since music is a universal thing and a very personal thing.

Being in the music business is a totally different industry right there.

Music and the music business are two different things.

I write other people songs. Recirculate it. It's the music business.
