At first it was kind of hard, because I had become used to just my phone screen in front of me. But sharing your songs with an audience is incredible.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's great when you play to an audience that knows the words to all your songs, and sings them back to you.
I want people to listen to my music and everyone to feel included, and I think it's kind of working because all my audiences are always so colorful.
How does my music connect to an audience? That is just a complete mystery to me.
I have to remind myself constantly that people actually want to hear the music I've made; that's hard for me to digest. I think a live audience is the only tangible evidence you can have that your work is making an impact. It's really humbling.
My audience is a huge part of my success, so I see us as a team. They send me tons of song requests every day. Some of the songs I've never heard before, but I listen to them and then pick the ones that I love.
That's the perfect audience: singing along to every word, knowing the songs, appreciating the non-hit songs, stuff like that.
I am just glad that I can take the music to the people who want to hear it. I love my audiences. I am deeply indebted to them for giving me the chance to sing my concerts, make records, and do what I love. Whatever people call it, it is great to have a voice!
I have sometimes been told that my music is 'difficult' for the listener.
It's very easy for people to put out music.
The stage is the best experience in the world. It's a great compliment to be able to share the music, because people can hear my album but they don't get to make the connection in the same way as when it's one-to-one.
