“The way music has turned recently, in my generation, it’s turned into such manufactured music. It’s a product. It’s not music anymore and what music and why it’s so universal. We can go across the world and that’s what great over here, it’s that people want to hear music, whatever type of music it is. They are excited to see that show. They’re excited to see what you have to bring at the table and we are trying and attempting to bring that back into the mainstream again.”
