"I've always believed that if you make great art, people will pay attention."

"The music has to be amazing. Focus on that first and foremost. But when you feel like it's ready, start reaching out to people. "

"The balance between art and promotion is a delicate one, and I often say that musicians shouldn't spend more than two hours a day social networking so as not to mess with the creative process."
