I do music based upon who I like and who I think has the potential to win. I don't really judge them by "Oh somebody is hot right now". If I think the music is dope and I think the potential is there, I want to do it.
Rico LoveI really want to work with Rufus Wainwright. Michael Stipe from R.E.M. I would love to work with Kanye West.
Rico LoveAC/DC, Def Leppard, Alice Cooper - I learned stories of all these guys. That's when I fell in love with Queen, which is one of my favorite bands of all time... I started paying attention to what made music good. I started paying attention to why I liked it.
Rico LoveIt's a gift that I have and I became good at it. When I heard my first song I didn't even know that I could write songs.
Rico LoveI watch artists say they wrote all these songs and don't mention anybody else who was involved, and that's fine. I don't expect an artist to give me credit. I know that they're gonna take the credit for everything. But, it's my job to give myself that exposure and not make excuses, not grow bitter.
