Historically, black music has influenced other cultures and other genres and created other genres.
Jazz has borrowed from other genres of music and also has lent itself to other genres of music.
If I'm smart as an artist, I wouldn't be a snob and turn it down, because I'd look at it and go, this is great stuff, but I definitely do want to experiment in other genres, or make films in other genres.
I'm now much more excited about genre distinctions. What I still see breaking down are more the hierarchical arrangements of genres. That is, "There is literary fiction, and then there are lesser genres." I'm much more clear on the idea that literary fiction is itself a genre. It is not above other genres. It is down there in the muck with all the other genres, and it's doing the wonderful things that it does, but to give it a Y-axis, to make it high and low, just seems absurd. I stand by that.
This has always been my problem with genres is that they've turned into marketing tools. I've never been a person that allows themselves to be in any kind of box and I think that genres can be used as tools to define BPM or something but I think they're suffocating of music and other art. And I think they're inaccurate when they come to describing my work. Maybe other people like defining it, but I don't.
I like the idea of an eclectic approach, incorporating jazz with other forms and other genres of music.
The stories that are out and the things that have been published are a sample of my interests. There are genres and sub-genres that I haven't waded into but have wanted to, or have waded into in other places but never actually written.
I think the most important thing about dance music is the connection. If you put 80,000 people together, no one knows each other, and once the music starts, everyone loves each other. That doesn't happen with a lot of genres. If you go to a hip-hop club, it's not like when one songs comes on that everyone suddenly loves each other.
People are digging into house music even from other genres.
I'm developing some other things in other genres, including one dramatic piece. So, anything's possible.
Branching out to other genres - I think it's why people put me apart from other guitar instrumentalists.
Despite being a classical musician, I keep poking my nose in other genres of music.
There are so many music genres competing against each other, but I feel like country music has always been a unified front.
Eventually, I came to believe, stupidly, that I had exhausted that story's "original" form with its single use. I went on to other stories, other forms and genres.
I think country music is really one of the biggest genres of music out there and one the most successful genres.
I think if anyone looks at the history of So Solid, you'll see that we've never stuck to one sound. We've always created from other genres, from R&B, hip-hop, bashment, jungle.
My music is quite diverse, but it blends Grime, Hip-Hop, Old Skool and other urban genres together.
