I never liked feeling like the world needed to have labels on everything, whether it's people or categories of music. I think everyone should be what they want to be, and you shouldn't have to look a certain way in order to fit this mold or that mold.
My musical style was developed basically by listening to music. The music I like helped to mold my style. I used to listen to the majority of down south music when I was a shorty coming up.
I think when you have one song that does really well, people love you from that song, or they hate you from that song.
In general, in painting sometimes people like Picasso or somebody are not very well known in the beginning, sometimes they become well known just before they die, or sometimes after they have died. I think these people start to be artists after they've stopped existing.
A lot of artists come into the game with a radio record, but they don't establish the fans as fans of their style of music. It's just that they're a fan of that song, and after that song plays out, it's real hard for 'em.
In music, it makes for a good platform to take time and really mold a piece the way I need to mold it. When it comes to fashion, I create a functional art that moves.
Hate radio, hate speech, hate groups, hate crimes really don't fit in, in the America that we know today.
Everyone should have a suit that's really well fitting - if a suit just doesn't fit, it looks ridiculous. It can purposely be too large or too small, if that's what you want, but it has to fit with your image and personal style.
I wanted to portray Joon-woo as someone who breaks out into a song and dance in that situation, an unpredictable villain who doesn't fit into the mold of a serious and scary psychopath.
Fit is everything. I don't care what your body type is like: If you're not wearing clothes that fit you, you can't have style.
I don't really have a favorite genre. I could listen to a rock song, a metal song, jazz, pop music, whatever. For me, whatever style it is, it always depends on the chord progression, the lyrics, and the melody used.
While all is new, all is beautiful. That is a well-known song. Yes, and the next day the air changes into another one equally well known.
I am not interested only in telling a story, but I want to tell it my way. I don't want my accent, my temperament, my narrative style to be compromised to fit into a mold of the Hollywood type.
I really hate when I do a great song with great lyrics but my voice just don't fit because of the type of beat I picked.
My label can mold me into whatever they want me to be. Even with my own style of music, it's pretty much universal. Anybody can listen to it and find something that they like on it. I never really got pressured to be a certain way.
I didn't have to fit into a mold. You make the mold. People can smell a rat. If you're doing thing for marketing and for a record label, you're going to set yourself up to be called a phony. As long as it's true to you, you do it.
