I didn’t have to

I didn’t have to fit into a mold. You make the mold. People can smell a rat. If you’re doing thing for marketing and for a record label, you’re going to set yourself up to be called a phony. As long as it’s true to you, you do it. Anthony Evans

In a sense, the

In a sense, the music business and I haven’t always been the best of bedfellows. Artists often have to fight their corner. Your music goes through these filters of record labels and media, and you’re hoping you’ll find someone who’ll help you get your work into the world. Annie Lennox

There’s no “correct path”

There’s no “correct path” to becoming a real artist. You might think you’ll gain legitimacy by going to university, getting published, getting signed to a record label. But it’s all bullshit, and it’s all in your head. You’re an artist when you say you are. And you’re a good artist when you make somebody else … Read more

I think it’s because

I think it’s because we’re not purists, we’re open to all kinds of music. We’re not afraid to take chances and we work really hard, and we gig relentlessly, we’ve been very active in the studio, we’re active with the record labels that we have.

You won’t have record labels taking 40 percent of the money. So they don’t have to sell as many albums as … Read more

Knowing record labels and

Knowing record labels and knowing the kinds of things they would object to-they just object to everything that’s interesting. Aimee Mann

So you have to just be really careful and make sure that when a deal comes along, that it’s like the right deal for you… not necessarily the most money, because you have to pay the record label that back in like record sales and stuff. Adam Rich

My record label, which

My record label, which is a huge record label who represents massive, massive stars – they’ve never done anything like this before, and they were so excited about this idea of an animated character which is singing legitimate music. It’s not a comedy record, it’s a legitimate record. And they really jumped on board. So, we’ve got our Facebook page up, we’ll be jumping on Twitter very soon, and sort of be creating Haley outside of American Dad.

We have to wake

We have to wake up early and make songs everyday. I run my record label. You work at hours where your body isn’t designed to work. But it’s fun.
