I have to say, I'm sort of always obsessed with Norah Jones. I just love her voice, but I don't really have an album - I have a playlist.
I do listen to a lot of music. Actually, I very often ask directors if they can offer up a play list. They very often have one anyway that they're listening to.
I always listen to music.
I listen to a lot of Tupac and Biggie Smalls. Old school songs. Rick Ross. I listen to a guy ASAP Rocky. I like different kinds of music. I always have. It motivates me before games... A Tupac playlist or a Meek Mill playlist. It varies.
When I sit down to make a set list I usually think, 'We'll build it up here, take it down here, go into a quiet section here, explode here,' in a way that there's a flow and it doesn't feel like shuffle on an iPod.
There's some *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys on my iPod. I listen to it if it comes up on shuffle.
I serve up the hits, and I enjoy doing it.
I have a whole lot of songs.
At some point of time, Imman won't be in this world. But my biggest asset would be if my biggest hater had at least 100 songs that I composed in his playlist. That's how I know my work will continue to live.
When I'm DJing for two hours, I might play two or three Smiths songs.
I keep my iPod on shuffle most of the time, but I'm most into Cirque du Soleil soundtracks.
Whether it's soundtracking a moment in my life or just motivating me to hit the gym, I constantly have music playing. Even if it's just in my head.
I will have a playlist ready that I'll play out to the audience before I walk on stage, and I'll listen to that same playlist in the room, so by the time I walk on stage, I'm in the same frame of mind the audience is.
My pregame music includes a nice little mixture. Probably a little Counting Crows, maybe some Avicii. Taylor Swift.
I like all kinds of music. On my playlist at the minute is Professor Green, Tinie Tempah, Maroon 5, Stereophonics, Jay-Z, Drake, and lots more. I always listen to music when I'm in the gym; it helps me to get pumped up.
After 'Freaky Friday,' another teen movie was not on my playlist.
I'm underrated, don't fit on nobody's playlist / If I ain't in your top 10, then you're a racist.
Bands don't play the whole LP. They play a selection of the songs that they like.
If I were doing a real rock show, slapping the phone book in time to the music, grooving with the songs, then it would matter to know how I felt about what I was playing. You can't fake it in that situation. But I'm just counting them down as they appear on the chart, 1 through 40. What really matters is what I say between the songs.
I have a playlist for every mood.
I have a lot of new music that I'm very excited about.
Every single thing that I was told that I couldn't do without a label - get in the charts, get on to the Radio 1 playlist - I've done.
I've got my iPod and I've got it on shuffle. If I'm not ready for one, I'll click to the next one. My wife, Lori, and our children, Adam, Nate, Chris, and Luke, will all tell you that when I find one I like it can stay on repeat for weeks on end.
All I really wanted was to be a full-time disc jockey.
And um, when I came back to England I put a very complex soundtrack on it, featuring everyone from Jimi Hendrix, right through to Neil Diamond, you know, everybody that was kind of popular who was kind of popular at that time.
