Music is my one opportunity to let out how I’m feeling when I’m not talking to a chick or my mom, you know what I mean? It’s just venting.
BRENT FAIYAZMusic is my one opportunity to let out how I’m feeling when I’m not talking to a chick or my mom, you know what I mean? It’s just venting.
BRENT FAIYAZWhen you’re initially making music, you’re kind of just shooting at the air.
BRENT FAIYAZI started off making beats when I was like 12. Then when I linked with people who make beats full time, I was like, ‘Bet, now I can focus on writing and singing.’
BRENT FAIYAZWe’re products of this world we were born into. We all battle our own demons. Everyone is troubled in the dark, but, please just stop & think about the babies. They’re gonna be here long after we leave.
BRENT FAIYAZI want to own my masters. That’s the main thing–owning all my music.
BRENT FAIYAZI want to put my soul into the music and still be who I am when it comes to an actual conversation.
BRENT FAIYAZBeing old didn’t seem like an accomplishment. Everyone I knew who was old was like sick or broke. It just didn’t look appealing until I moved to L.A. and started interacting with people who were 50+ and still kicking it, having money, living large.
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 FAIYAZIf I feel like making something, if I feel like saying something on the track, that’s what I am going to do – regardless of reaction.
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 know when it comes to the actual narrative of my solo music, it’s its own thing. That’s why I went out of my way after ‘Crew’ to not do a bunch of collaborations.
BRENT FAIYAZPeople will listen to a song and expect that you just have that persona on all the time. But really, that was your one outlet that one day to get that emotion out. The only difference was you put it on a canvas that’s going to be there forever.
BRENT FAIYAZI don’t wake up thinking about the genre of R&B as a whole. I just make music.
BRENT FAIYAZI really just wanted to make something special for women. There aren’t enough records uplifting them out there.
BRENT FAIYAZYou gotta question the purpose you serve for those who invite themselves into your life. Learn who you are and always question the motive. No one knows you the way you do.
BRENT FAIYAZThe first couple of times I went out and heard my voice or heard people listening when I wasn’t the one playing it for them, it felt good.
