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.

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

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

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

A lot of people who have been perceiving my music have been trying to formulate a genre for it, and I think it's just a natural thing; it doesn't need to be categorized. It doesn't need to be sectioned, if you will.

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 hate labels; the problem is that if you say you're one thing, it's hard for people to imagine you as something else. Music is way more complicated than that.

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

Putting out the things that I like best hasn't been the easiest way to run a label, and it still isn't because it requires finding an audience for each record.

Maybe one day music will just be music, and there won't be these categories; it'll just be different shades of music.
