When you have a great idea, and don't rush it, things can work itself out.

If you intend on building a solid career, it's best to not worry about the major label approach. It's a trade-off that most true artists shouldn't have to make.

Man, I wouldn't know where to begin on education reform, but one thing we have to do is add teacher accountability WITHOUT stressing standardized test scores.

I have friends with deals, both major and indie, and the ones on majors never seem as happy, and quite frankly aren't making music as strong as those on independents.

There's no major label in the world that would have let me make video game music, then conscious hip hop. They want you to find your audience, your lane, and stay in it until it ends. I can't do that.

I was taught from a young age that as a teacher, especially a male, you are to never be alone with a female, or even a male student.

In general, being independent is so liberating, you get to create without someone looking over your shoulders.
