I mean, you go to the internet and you can see all these conversations and arguments that our fans have about our music and that's wonderful to know, that people would take the time to be that involved.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I realized that, all along, my theory was right: Make music that you want to hear, and instead of having fans that one day might criticize or abandon you, your fans aren't even fans. They're people with tastes similar to yours. They're friends you haven't met yet.
When you make music, you're in really direct contact with your fans out there, so you hear all kinds of stories.
You either have fans who stick with you, or they don't. It comes down to making music that people connect with and great fans.
I just hope that our fans are people who are inspired by music, and just use our music as a background or inspiration for whatever it is they do.
If your music is great, you will have fans, not because you have spent time chatting on social media.
I want to let fans know how much I appreciate them and how much I appreciate them showing interest in our music and me personally.
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.
All musicians start out with ideals but hanging on to them in the face of media scrutiny takes real integrity. Tougher still is to live up to the ideals of your dedicated fans.
I'm really in touch with my fans. Through their emails, letters and stories is how I decide what music I'm going to perform.
When I do things, like, with Josh Grobin, or he has so many fans, and I get people after my concerts, classical concerts, all the time coming back and saying, 'Never heard of you until I heard the song with Josh Grobin.' Then they're now classical music fans, which is something I think we need to reach a wider audience.
