“But a lot of the old fans are listening to a lot of the younger music. So I gotta keep moving forward, and they’ll move forward too.”

The most exciting thing for all of us is movies and movie stars.

There are people that bring artists to me to look at it and it’s a question of whether I like their music and their look and if I think there’s something they have that makes them different and commercial.

I enjoy music that is commercial.

There’s artists that I’m working with on a new label of mine. Foxy Nova and Supa Nova.

I would say that I’ve been lucky. Being blessed and not really ever giving up.

Music was what I always wanted to do and I was one of the lucky few to achieve my ambition and earn a living from it for which I’m very grateful.

I could easily not be the person that people know.

The reality is, some people don’t want you to change or go anywhere different.

You can find a diamond in the rough a lot of times.

I’m continuing to produce and will start a new record soon, as well.

Unfortunately, a lot of executives aren’t like producers, and can’t hear the diamond in the rough.

The Internet is a whole new world opening up.

It might be a huge hit, it might not; but you learn something doing it.

I usually prepare a track and then I work with the artist when it’s time to do the vocals.

I don’t go to that many Broadway shows, so I can’t really say anything.

Commercial music, for the most part, is popular music and you always have to keep that in mind.

Listen kid, take my advice, never hate a song that has sold half a million copies.

Spend more time listening to your heart and less time listening to your ego.

If you listen quietly enough life will whisper its secrets to you.

This is for all of you out there tonight, reaching for a dream – don’t ever give up! Never ever listen to anyone, when they try to discourage you, because they do that, believe me!

Are you learning to say things after listening to God, or are you saying things and trying to make God’s word fit in?

We can learn so much if we take the time to listen.

Leaders who refuse to listen, will eventually be surrounded by people who have nothing helpful to say.

Begin to listen to what you say. Don’t say anything that you don’t want to become true for you.
