It is the responsibility of music composers to add some classical music elements into their songs to make the music genre popular.

Shankar Mahadevan

When I was growing up, music was music and there were no genres. We didn't look at it as country music. Popular music in Tuskegee was country music. So I didn't know it in categories. It was the radio.

Lionel Richie

The fact that file sharing goes on, and is as popular as it is, is an incredibly positive thing for the music industry. The fact is that music is so popular that people are willing to break the law to get it.

Dave Rowntree

Early American music and early folk music, before the record became popular and before there were pop stars and before there were venues made to present music where people bought tickets, people played music in the community, and it was much more part of a fabric of everyday life. I call that music 'root music.'

Jon Batiste

Before I'd even started doing music or having opportunities with my own music, I was studying production and business and stuff anyway. I knew there were so many jobs within the music industry - songwriting or session playing or working at a label - and I was really interested in how it all works.

Gabrielle Aplin

There's always this talk of the industry of music and about selling records and whatever, but that ignores probably the majority of music that isn't about trying to sell itself, that isn't about being connected to any industry. There's a huge amount of music where someone just happened to have a tape recorder and turned it on or hit the red button while they were in the back of church or recording something in their front room.

Jason Pierce

The Internet has essentially democratized the music industry in terms of what is popular and it's democratized the music journalism industry as well.

Anthony Fantano

I started from zero. Nobody in my family is connected to the industry. Not a single contact in the music industry or in the entertainment industry.

Rosalia

The lack of quality dance music and the fact that here in the United States, house music is not seen as anything viable by the music industry. I figured that this might be another shot at the industry looking at the possibilities of house music and giving it a little bit more legitimacy than what they give it. It's a host of different things, but it's something that I needed to say musically.

Frankie Knuckles

A lot of people ask me, 'How did you have the courage to walk up to record labels when you were 12 or 13 and jump right into the music industry?' It's because I knew I could never feel the kind of rejection that I felt in middle school. Because in the music industry, if they're gonna say no to you, at least they're gonna be polite about it.

Taylor Swift

But classical music is not entertainment, and I feel viciously strong about that. Classical music is forever. Entertainment is something that is here today, and may be gone tomorrow.

Van Cliburn

That's just the music industry. They always want you to write something like the one that was popular.

Benji Madden

I'm trying to fuse popular and commercial music and just make very creative music. It's popular music: it's everything for everybody.

Theophilus London

There's something missing in the music industry today... and it's music. Songs you hear don't last, it's just product fed to you by the industry.

Jimmy Buffett

I think the States is a huge part of the music industry worldwide. There are so many other artists and music industry people here, so I think to be working my audience here is definitely a go.
