You can't stay the same. If you're a musician and a singer, you have to change, that's the way it works.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Music has to change. I don't want to stay the same forever.
If you're a musician and an artist, you don't just stop.
In a lot of groups, you can change a musician, and it doesn't mean anything.
You always have to work to become a better singer, songwriter and performer.
If you are a singer and you lose your voice, you realize that you have other skill sets when that is taken out of the equation.
I consider myself as a singer first, but something that really helped me come into my own is that there's not a separation between me singing and me playing the guitar. The two fed off the other.
To stay a great singer or guitar player, you've got to do it 24/7. That's what I do.
I get to focus on being a musician sometimes, and I get to focus on being a vocalist sometimes.
You have to keep fit being a singer - that's part of the job. You can't do it unless you have incredible stamina.
One of my goals from really early on was that if I was ever fortunate enough to be successful in music, I would want to stay the same person and the same songwriter.
