The means of control that record labels had vis-à-vis distribution no longer exist.

I think if you can create a meaningful thing that is also an advertisement that's a pretty cool option for brands.

I just write songs, I make music, and I have several times over reinvented my life in order to keep making music and just make music all day. I don't know. It's just what I have to do.

I think most people now listen to different genres when they have different moods. I know I certainly do.

There's definitely something broken in the music industry clearly. Partly from downloading and partly the obstacles for discovery and listener choice and artist distribution are gone.

If you get on the radio, people hear it, they buy the record. If you get on Spotify playlist nowadays, people hear it, they buy the record.

There are so few barriers to working with artists because the contract is brief and straightforward, it allows us to just move instantly.
