I'm basically a musician.
As a musician, basically the masses never thought I was a musician.
Well I'm a third-generation musician. My Grandfather's a musician and my father and mother were both musicians and so I'm a musician. It was just natural that I should be a musician 'cause I was born into the family.
When you grow up in New Orleans, like, the only way to be an artist is to be a 55-year-old black musician. That's basically what we wanted to be. If you had asked me very truthfully what I wanted to be when I was 16, the answer would've been, 'I want to be a 55-year-old black musician.'
I was never planning on being a musician. It's basically a hobby that sprawled out of control.
I'm a musician, I always was a musician, and now I've got a song on the radio, so I'm definitely a musician.
I've dated the sweet mama's boy, the musician rocker, the struggling artist - basically a lot of people without jobs.
I'm not just a singer of funny songs; I am basically, first and foremost, a musician. I'm always recording all styles of music.
Basically, death metal, as a musician on my part, it just changed everything as far as the technicality and where you could take music.
I can't escape crooning the 'Mitwa... Kahe Dhadkan Tujhse Kya' number wherever I perform. Basically, I am a classically rooted musician.
Music is emotional, and you may catch a musician in a very unemotional mood or you may not be in the same frame of mind as the musician. So a critic will often say a musician is slipping.
I worked full time jobs, basically doing manual labor until I could make enough money supporting myself as a musician.
I can show you that I have played with just about every jazz musician, every African musician, every blues musician. It's not like I'm cashing in on a false concept. This is what I do.
I basically am the only musician in my family. My aunt plays a little piano, but that's about it. My dad's mother painted and was actually good at it. I do not come from a long line of musicians, though.
I'm always writing. And, I mean, I always counsel people when they call me a musician: I really do not have the skills of a musician. I really don't think like a musician, though I love music and I perform and sing.
I think for a classical musician the goal is the same as an electronic musician. A very good professional classical musician must not think about technique.
I don't view myself as a musician anymore - I view myself as a human being that functions as a musician when I'm functioning as a musician, but that's not 24 hours a day. That's really opened me up to even more perspectives because now I look at music, not from the standpoint of being a musician, but from the standpoint of being a human being.
