Don't underestimate the value of doing nothing, of just going along, listening to all the thing you can't hear, and not bothering.
I'm the kind of guy who grew up listening to Three Dog Night and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Be very, very patient and very open-minded, and listen to what people have to say.
I'm a bit of an insomniac. I go to bed at 5am because I get caught up in watching TV or listening to music at night.
I grew up on Bach and Beethoven, and now I'm listening to more modern composers who I can't even name. But since I'm constantly doing music, it's difficult to have that quality time to listen to music and do classical stuff.
The idea of music is to liberate the listener and lead him to a frame where he feels he is elevated.
I am the kind of person who does not like to carry baggage. In fact, I don't go back and listen to my own music. I believe in closing chapters and moving forward. That's what gives me peace.
Music is something that always lifts my spirits and makes me happy, and when I make music I always hope it will have the same effect on whoever listens to it.
Just because you listen to The National, Spotify might tell you that you want to listen to The Lumineers' music. Well, maybe you don't.
If I'm sitting at home playing video games, and I've got a couple of minutes to myself before bed, I'm listening to music and putting a couple of playlists together. I'm passionate about music.
