I can't immediately get all this coverage when my record comes out. The way I sell gold and platinum records is by being on the road.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The record company stay out of my way. Whenever the record is finished, they take it.
I'm really lucky that my record companies have been patient with me and leave me alone and give me the time to make it right in my mind.
Whenever I go to a new city, whether visiting or vacationing, I would always make that a point to get to the record store early on, just to get my bearings and see what was going on around town.
I wish records got made faster and looser with less thought in them, but since touring is so much more profitable than records, you spend so much time on the road that it's hard to work on them. And the records get further and further apart.
I actually don't think that I'm gonna sell a lot of records.
People weren't buying as many records. My record company did not want me. I went through three record companies, went on tour at the wrong time. It destroyed me.
Stop doing what the record companies are doing and do what's in your heart.
I generally sell my records online or at the show. You can undersell the distributor and the stores, and people know what they're getting cause they've just seen you live.
I just to put out the best records I can and perform the best I can.
Nobody sells records any more, and the only way you can actually do anything is to go out and play live.
