“I go down to New York, do the project, and leave. I have no interest in participating in the rat race down there. Hip jazz fans know who I am. There's a generation of musicians in New York who know my records better than I do.” KnowsInterestRaceRecordsGenerationsFansNew YorkFameProjectsMusicianJazzWho I AmHipsRatsParticipatingRat Race Author:Paul Smoker
“A [spatial, temporal] work had only to be exhibited in a gallery and then written about and reproduced as a photograph in an art magazine.

“There's nothing like getting feedback that's positive and supportive. That's what I'm all about. I'm really just genuinely doing good music. I'm not looking to be on the cover of magazines and I'm not in it for the fame. I'm not in it for selling or the biggest Pop song in the world. I have to go for critically acclaimed. I'd rather go for my peers that I look up to say "I listen to her record." I'd rather do a small little touring venue that has two people who support me as opposed to thousands of people. I mean if it happens, it happens but I'm doing it for me.” PeopleIfsWorldLooksMeanLittlesTwoHappensSongSupportRecordsFamePopsSellingMagazinesLook UpPeersSupportiveFeedbackTouringDoing GoodVenuesPop SongSupport Me Author:Tiffany Villarreal

“I've spent a lot of time in tiny venues in the way that I got my record deal and got my name out there just performing live. I was literally performing my songs in all kinds of different ways with different guitarists, and I didn't have an album up online or anything. It's been a lot of work; it definitely hasn't been a sudden explosion into fame.” WayKindDifferentSongNamesDealsRecordsFameAlbumsTinyAll KindsPerformingDifferent WaysOnlineWorking ItExplosionsGuitaristVenuesPerforming Live Author:Florence Welch
