I'd call what I do pop music, but it's folky and electronic and it doesn't really sound like much else.

If you write songs and if you write music that's very sincere and very honest, it's pop music, but it is pop music with a lot of honesty and a lot of heart.

I love pop music, but at the same time, I'm seeking to write whatever I'm organically inclined to.

Pop comes from the word 'popular,' which means that it could be anything that appeals to any group of people. When you talk about general masses, I think there's elements in every kind of music that can reach a broad audience.

I wasn't very aware of pop music because I attended an arts school. For me, it was all about jazz.

Music is for people. The word 'pop' is simply short for popular. It means that people like it. I'm just a normal jerk who happens to make music. As long as my brain and fingers work, I'm cool.

For me, genres are a way for people to easily categorize music. But it doesn't have to define you. It doesn't have to limit you.

Pop music can absorb so many peculiar talents, ranging from the completely nonmusical poseur who just uses music as a kind of springboard for a sense of style, to people who just love putting all that complicated stuff together, brick by brick, on their computers, to people like me who like playing conceptual games and being surprised.

I love pop music because you can really see what's currently happening in society.
