Being A Musician, You Want To Be

I Listen To All Kinds Of Songs. There's Something To Be Learned From Every Type Of Music And From The One Making It, Whether It's Pop Or Jazz Or Hip-hop.

I Watch My Contemporaries, And They Love To Live In The Studio And I Don't. I Have A Life. I Treat It As A 9-to-5. I Try To Create Something New Every Day, And Then I Get On With My Life.

I'm Not Like A Legend That - So I'm Sort Of In The Middle In This Sort Of Gray Area Where, You Know, I'm Creating Music And I'm Not Saying There Isn't An Audience Because There Is Because All Of Those People Go Out And Spend $80 To $150 On A Concert Ticket.

I Just Do What I Do And Hope It's Accepted By The Public At Large. It's Different From When Marvin Gaye And Stevie Revolutionized What Music Was 25 Years Ago. Now There's All This Technology That's Available To Everyone. It's Tough To Be Ahead Of Anyone.

I've Been A Jazz Artist Playing Pop And R&b My Entire Career.
