Maybe some people that only listen to electronic music will pick up my record and get turned on to some of the story songs, some of the more country-type stuff.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sometimes it feels like my story overshadows my music.
You have record companies that sign acts that they think are great, and then they never do anything. Acts that they don't think are really going to do much end up having a career. I don't think anyone really knows what it is that drives somebody to get on their computer and want to download a song.
You know, when I put out records that may not work or connect with the audience, it's because I'm pushing myself as an artist creatively, because I'm just bored doing what everyone wants me to do.
Music is the one part of the entertainment business where you can't fool anybody into buying a record.
Some people only work to recorded music because it's so reliable and exactly the same every time, which is exactly why I don't.
When I make records, I never listen to stuff after it's done. Ever.
When you make a record, you listen to it literally hundreds of times. When it's done and you can't do anything else, I never listen to my records.
I don't listen to recordings of my songs. I don't avoid it, I just don't go out of my way to do it.
I can't imagine how people will react to my music. For me, it's a really fluid process from one record to the next, but it's really up to the listener.
Everything I record, I just try to sound like me and come up with songs that suit what I do and then just go for it. I never know what the public's going to like, anyway.
