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

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.

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.

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.

They do what they do for money – that’s all. I don’t even know why you’re listening to me. I’ve done commercials for both Coke and Pepsi. Truth is, I can’t even taste the difference, but Pepsi paid me last, so there it is.

I wasn’t allowed to do commercials. I wasn’t allowed to do TV series. I wasn’t allowed to do soaps or basically anything that would mean I missed too much school.

I think that music is still art, even if it’s commercialised.

People read things into my commercials that don’t even exist.

Commercials capture your attention, that’s all.

Music can save people, but it can’t in the commercial way it’s being used. It’s just too much. It’s pollution.

We put a lot more value, or at least I personally put a lot more value, on the creative values and creative challenges of something than the commercial necessities.

In TV, and in particular in commercials, you don’t really need to explain very much at all.
