I just like a good song, it doesn't matter. I mean, I am into girl groups and stuff like that. I listen to anything.
Rock's gone soft, it's gone miserable and boring, there's not really much exciting about it. So it's important that we cross over, because we feel like we belong more in a place where people just like music and it's not about how heavy it is.
There's a lot of creativity in the industry, but I don't necessarily think that the most creative DJs or producers are always the biggest ones. I think it would be nice to see more of an open culture to different music. I think that's happening. With Spotify, I think people are discovering a lot of artists they might not discover otherwise.
That's because we did not set out to make black music. We set out to make quality music that everyone could enjoy and listen to.
Dubstep has been big in the UK for years. I'm fine with hearing a dubstep drop in any song.
I listen to all those kinds of music, from classic soul to hip-hop to Brazilian music to, you know, jazz to indie to alternative. So whatever. I listen to all if it. Classic rock and classic pop, all of that.
I'm not a big hip-hop fan, but I respect all kinds of music and some of them are really cool.
As a music supervisor, you learn to embrace the best of every genre, and I really have to say there's nothing that I'm embarrassed of.
In my 30s, I became more open to music other than country or bluegrass.
I'll dance to anything: Bob Marley or rap.
For me, great music doesn't just have to fall into one category or one genre and I love appreciating all kinds of music.
I love all music. I'm not specific. I don't just love one genre!
I listen to a lot of different music. I have a really open ear when it comes to music in general. I like everything. You have to. You have to know your history and learn everything you can, you know?
I don't have a problem with how people receive the music. I feel like it's for everybody.
Most of my fans, if you were to look on their iPods, you'd see every possible genre of music represented in some capacity.
I don't really care what music's made on - I love guitars, but I'm fine with great electronic music.
You can enjoy many different types of music. I think that's something more Americans should think about.
I've always loved good music; I'm not really fussed where it comes from.
I'm literally into any type of music imaginable.
There's always going to be a fight between mainstream and underground because the mainstream is a very small bubble, and the underground scene is a very small bubble, and they both see themselves as secret societies. But I never saw it that way. I always thought music was open to all things.
As you get older you lose interest in what you hear on the radio. But you can't be like that, you have to enjoy what's going on.
My mother comes from the Dominican Republic, so I have the Latin side in me, and I grew up with Gypsies. But I like any kind of music as long as it's good music.
I don't want only young black people that listen to my music be able to appreciate it. I just want people to be able to appreciate it.
