I wanted to talk about how stupid music is. I wanted to talk about how awesome music is, and how depressing it is, and why we all make music if it doesn’t last forever.
Music – it’s the only thing that can enter your system, your mind, your heart, without your permission.
Music is everything to me. I wake up and go to bed with it. I listen to all genres, depending on my mood.
I am a big fan of A.R. Rahman and Mani Sharma, and I went to a shop to buy these music directors’ CD. But I had only Rs 100, and Rahman’s CD cost more, so I couldn’t buy both. So I bought Rahman’s CD and stole Mani Sharma’s CD.
If you’re an artist, create music and put it out on the Internet. If you do this consistently, your fan base will continue growing, and that will power your entire career.
My primary goal is to be a solo artist releasing original music.
There’s only two kinds of music I don’t like… Country and Western.
I’m very conscious that a music video is beyond just a promotional tool for a song. It takes a song to the next level and it gives a song a new life.
Both the Beatles and The Rolling Stones broke on the music scene the summer I was in England. I can vividly remember hearing ‘She Loves You’ in August 1963.
It’s our responsibility for the village to say, ‘Hey we’re going to create these programs,’ whether it’s sports, creative arts, music, we need some things to give young people positive things to do, and that’s including jobs.
My story as an artist has been about trial and error. It’s been about artist development, character building, struggle, happiness and failure, family, and music.
I am trying to walk a tightrope; trying to keep the DJ community happy while trying to spread the message about dance music to more people. That is the mission that I am on.
I like all music. The only music I don’t like is bad music.
I want to remind people that black music is amazing. And there are all forms of it that we’ve forgotten, you know? Rock music is black music! Don’t forget that’s what it is.
The first time I saw ‘Minecraft,’ people wanted to have 8-bit style video game music. But I wanted to go around that and make something organic and partly electronic, partly acoustic, and see if that would be interesting.
Music is an expression. It’s almost like a diary in my life, you know. You express your perceptions and your view on life – your world view.
Music helped me, growing up: it very much felt like a companion and made me less lonely.
A few can touch the magic string, and noisy fame is proud to win them: Alas for those that never sing, but die with all their music in them!
My favorite bands were Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Jethro Tull, Uriah Heep, Grand Funk Railroad. If you listen to some of my early music, you can hear it.
I love slow music.
All art constantly aspires towards the condition of music.
There is nothing stable in the world; uproar’s your only music.
Music is an expression of individuality; it’s how you see the world. All art is, for that matter. You take how you experience the world, interpret it, and send it out there – express it – whether it’s sculpture, dance or singing.
My music relies solely on the feeling. Just the feeling.
If you’re doing black music, you should have a core understanding of where that comes from, and the fundamentals – so you’re not some bozo thinking you’re doing something new.
