I don't like to be labeled, to be anything. I've made the mistake before myself of labeling my music, but it's counter-productive.

I've always tried to stay clear of being labeled, putting a label on what type of music that I make.

I don't like labels. I don't understand the need for them. When you define yourself a certain way, people have expectations.

I never liked feeling like the world needed to have labels on everything, whether it's people or categories of music. I think everyone should be what they want to be, and you shouldn't have to look a certain way in order to fit this mold or that mold.

I just try to make the best music that I can. People are going to label it whatever they're going to label it.

Music is music; you don't have to put a label on it.

I don't think any of us like to be reduced to just one label.

Genre labels are useful only insofar as they help you find an audience.

You know, I am just a musician and I have no idea these days what good and bad is in terms of labels.

I leave the genre labeling to other people. I really do. If I were to think too hard about it, that would stifle you creatively. If you think too hard about who other people want you to be as an artist, it stops you from being who you want to be as an artist.
