Born: January 8, 1976

I never envisioned myself playing for the U.S. Olympic team -- growing up, I never envisioned playing in the NBA, to be real with you. I never envisioned that type of stuff. So this is like a dream that I never had come true. It's like I'm a part of what's really going on. It's still very hard for me to believe that I am really going to be a part of the biggest thing in the whole entire world.

Carmelo Anthony

I've always looked on myself as one of a band and never sought a solo career.

Rod Stewart

I can be a little messy and wild and carefree with my creativity as a solo artist. In a group, there's a certain structure, and everyone has a part to play, and being a solo artist, I can do as I please.

Dawn Richard

I always saw myself as a singer-songwriter, a solo-artist, that's why working with other artists was never satisfying for me.

John Legend

I never imagined I'd be a solo artist. And now I couldn't imagine being part of a group.

Morrissey

When I'm sick of myself, and when I don't know what to say as a solo artist, I can write a song for a movie. When I don't know where to turn musically, being in a band - Rilo Kiley or Jenny & Johnny - the collaborative nature is really exciting.

Most singers begin with a band and then go solo. I started making music on my own and subsequently chose to carry on as part of a band.

Natalia Lafourcade

I start from one point and go as far as possible. But, unfortunately, I never lose my way. I 'localize,' which is to say that I think always in a given space. I rarely think of the whole of a solo, and only very briefly. I always return to the small part of the solo that I was in the process of playing.

John Coltrane

I was never the one that really wanted to be a solo artist, I was always in groups.

When you're a solo artist and you have a band on tour you have to pay the band some salary. You don't realise the expenses, the way they add up SO quickly. But thank god I'm not a money person. So it doesn't really bug me at all, I mean it's more comical to me.

Marnie Stern

EVERY SINGLE DANCER, SINGER and BAND MEMBER is a BRILLIANT SOLO ARTIST

Ben Brantley

I did exactly what I wanted to do. It was always my intention to put a band together and be a band and not be about the solo pop guy. That was never me. All of the musicians that made me do what I wanted to do were bands. I didn't see it any other way.

Chris Daughtry

I'm competitive with anyone who writes a good song - I don't care if it's a band or solo artist or whoever.

Chris Martin

I was able to endure and play a special part in music history. And I always managed to keep working, even if I wasn't a big solo artist.

Merry Clayton

I was with Nightwish for such a long time that I still feel the band as a part of myself. I was one of the most important elements in Nightwish for nine years, and the band was an essential part of myself too.
