A lot of labels are hiring a lot more accountants than people that know music.

I have known from the beginning one thing you need to know. That is, the music business is a business.

The business aspect is one of the most important things about having a music career, because every choice you make in a management meeting affects your life a year-and-a-half from now.

I decided to combine my musical background, business education and creative abilities - and go into the record business.

I've always treated the music business as a business.

My expertise is running businesses.

I'm developing a record company. I'm learning how to supervise music on a film.

I'm in the music business for one purpose - to make money.

As for the music business itself, the key things have not changed that much. It operates like any business and money still keeps things moving.

The first thing you learn about the music business is that it changes very quickly. You come into it at a certain point and you think you have a handle on it... And then, three years later, the whole thing has been turned upside-down.
