BRENT FAIYAZI think it’s good that YouTube decided that they really want to showcase Black talent.
BRENT FAIYAZI want to own my masters. That’s the main thing–owning all my music.
BRENT FAIYAZI was reading Neil Postman’s ‘Amusing Ourselves to Death’. It’s one of my favourites.
BRENT FAIYAZI probably talk to myself more than I talk to anyone.
BRENT FAIYAZAs cliche as it sounds, don’t stop. I feel like so often people will have talent or have potential, and they’ll quit because they don’t get anywhere as soon as they want to.
BRENT FAIYAZI used to think that there was a certain way I had to stick to when it came to R&B, but now I’m saying whatever, the same way these rappers do. I’m bringing that into R&B music.
BRENT FAIYAZIf it feels good coming out, then I really don’t care about anything else, for real. It’s all about just having fun with it. If it feels like less work, then the project is coming out better.
BRENT FAIYAZIf I have a collection of songs for an EP or mixtape, I create the narrative afterwards; but usually with an album, I have a concept and the name first.
BRENT FAIYAZIf you can look in the mirror and say I love myself, that’s going to affect your interactions with people who look like you.
BRENT FAIYAZI still got bars, I just use ’em differently. I’d say I’m a better singer than I am a rapper at this point because I’ve been sharpening my sword.
BRENT FAIYAZMy music is often written from the perspective of an extroverted introvert.
BRENT FAIYAZYou work on something for so long that you become numb to it. Like, you don’t even know how to listen to it because you listened to it so many times.
BRENT FAIYAZI’d prefer for people to know that they’re going to get some substance when they listen to my music versus hearing the same ‘Oooh baby, I love you.’
BRENT FAIYAZI feel you gotta be nervous. If you’re nervous, it’s just ’cause you want to do well, it’s not ’cause you’re scared.
BRENT FAIYAZI really just wanted to make something special for women. There aren’t enough records uplifting them out there.
