You can find a diamond in the rough a lot of times.

I think that in order for music to be heard in a lot of different situations you have to always consider that.

I’m continuing to produce and will start a new record soon, as well.

When I was in top 40 bands, I always had to learn new material and new styles.

It’s like spicy food – sometimes you have to tone it down so more people can enjoy it.

I think that whenever there’s a good script we try to make that happen, but it’s all based off of a good story, a good script, but I don’t believe you should do it just because it’s African-American.

Commercial music, for the most part, is popular music and you always have to keep that in mind.

You can find a diamond in the rough a lot of times.

But a lot of the old fans are listening to a lot of the younger music. So I gotta keep moving forward, and they’ll move forward too.

I still write the same way and have the same perspective.

I don’t go to that many Broadway shows, so I can’t really say anything.

I enjoy music that is commercial.

There are people that bring artists to me to look at it and it’s a question of whether I like their music and their look and if I think there’s something they have that makes them different and commercial.

Unfortunately, a lot of executives aren’t like producers, and can’t hear the diamond in the rough.

It might be a huge hit, it might not; but you learn something doing it.

The whole process of this record was an education for me as a musician.

I could easily not be the person that people know.

The Internet is a whole new world opening up.

It’s about finding great artists and being part of their careers.

I usually prepare a track and then I work with the artist when it’s time to do the vocals.

I don’t necessarily want people to know all my intimate feelings about Tracey.

I would say that I’ve been lucky. Being blessed and not really ever giving up.

The most exciting thing for all of us is movies and movie stars.

There’s artists that I’m working with on a new label of mine. Foxy Nova and Supa Nova.

The reality is, some people don’t want you to change or go anywhere different.
