But, of course, one relies on the everyday people who just simply like your music, for whom you may not be a hobby but they enjoy being in your presence at a concert.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm involved in all things musical. It's all consuming, even if it doesn't necessarily manifest as a record or a concert.
You create a community with music, not just at concerts but by talking about it with your friends.
I am passionate about music - and people think because I go to places where I can enjoy music I have to be partying. It isn't true.
A lot of people these days are not music lovers - they just want to be famous which is a very different thing to what I grew up believing in.
It's a luxury to not have to just be performing with other people to have my music heard.
I really, really enjoy music and that's why I do what I do.
In the years that I've seen concerts, when I've paid to see somebody I want to see, there would be a certain amount of songs I'd want to hear. So whether it's stuff I want to play every night or not - or stuff I've been playing for years or stuff you get tired of playing - you have to play what people pay for and make it fair for them.
I feel like that's so important, to enjoy my own music. Because if I'm not passionate about my music, then it's going to show to the fans.
For a long time, I couldn't actually deal with playing concerts; it was a totally alien concept to me, 'cause I was used to playing in clubs and dance halls.
If people would like to come to my concerts I'd love them to come. And if they like the music that I make, I love that too. But I do not make music for other people. I make it to please myself.
