I don't think there is anyone who cannot relate to music.
— Urmila Matondkar
It's about giving the people what they want. So many people have told me that they've made love to my records so what I've delivered this time is an album about sex. Pretty much every song has that theme. Straight no chasers, it's booty music!
— Tyrese Gibson
I don't have a therapist, so I use me as my own therapist when I'm making the music.
— Tyler, The Creator
I grew up playing music, ever since I was 10 years old.
— Tyler Posey
Self-awareness is a character trait that's horrible to have if you're a performer. I think that a lot of these performers that we see get up on stage and play music, there's a sense of them truly not caring how they're coming across. They are just themselves. I look up to a lot of people who are like that.
— Tyler Joseph
I've forgotten what it feels like to be in one place for more than a day... But we signed up for this. This is our dream. We sat down and said this is what we want to do, play music and touring.
Music can connect people on an intimate level. What Josh and I are trying to do is represent anyone who has some of the questions that we have.
I am an actor, and although I love music, and at times can't live without it, I eat, sleep, breath, sweat, and bleed acting.
— Tyler James Williams
The acting thing is the side benefit of becoming a little bit well known with my music.
— Tyler Hilton
I have come to terms with the fact that it's called pop music - that's what I play, and that is what I write. I think it is a pretty broad category.
From an early age, I was infatuated with music. I always loved it and was always dancing or playing something.
— Tyler Farr
I don't mind putting my heart out there for the audience, and for the country music fans... to be vulnerable with them... that's my job as an artist.
Fame is a thing that happens when you do something you love - nobody wants to be famous for the wrong reasons. It's not my goal, but if being more famous means I can get more music out, that's cool.
— Tyga
I make negative music, but I also make positive music because that's what thrown at me with life.
I dropped out of high school when I was, like, 15, so I just focused on doing music. It's all I wanted to do; I didn't want to work or anything else. I took all the negativity and obstacles that came with life, and I just put it in the music.
Making music is like being the president: You can't tell people you're going to make health care free to get them behind you, but when you get that role, you don't do it.
I can make any type of music, so I wouldn't want to describe myself as having one type of sound. I think music is about keeping it diverse.
'Rangeela' and 'Daud' are both exciting films. The songs, the music, the dances - they all blend so well.
I guess I did go through my phase where I wanted to be a rapper. I made music, but I was never really good at it.
— Tyrann Mathieu
The thing is, I make music I like. So it's just weird if someone says they don't like it.
The music I write is very melodic, very catchy, and fast.
I guess when I first started writing music, I really had no idea if anyone was ever going to hear what I was writing and almost no intention of people hearing it. So, it was kind of this journal. It was pretty unfiltered.
When Josh and I are recording a record, we're very mindful of how the music will manifest itself live. That's where we have to live every day. When we tour for the next record, I imagine there will be a new story to tell, and we'll introduce new characters.
I didn't know that there were many rules in music when I first started writing.
Whether or not I would be able to be an actor without the music I'm not sure, but I feel pretty lucky to do it.
The reason I like doing these acting projects is because no matter how much acting I do, I'll always have music in my life. I love having both.
I like loud music. I like music that fills my ears. I'm just going to pull out my iPod and see what we got here. We're always interested in new bands because we have a retail store in northern California. I think it's got to be happy.
— Tyler Florence
The industry is always changing, but country music is like a force that always comes back.
In chess, computers show that what we call 'strategy' is reducible to tactics, ultimately. It only looks creative to us. They are still just glorified cash registers. This should make us feel uncomfortable, whether or not we think computers will ever be good composers of music or artistic painters.
— Tyler Cowen
I've always been into dressing and being stylish because I feel like that's where I gained a lot of my confidence and swag as a rapper, so fashion goes hand-in-hand with music to me.
I feel like too many people on the West Coast, they're too needy. They feel they need Snoop or Game. I never did any tracks with any West Coast artists. Not because I didn't want to, but because I didn't feel like that's what I had to do in order to get on. I just did music.
Music changes every three months. There's always new artists coming out. There's always new sounds. There is always a new hit coming out. You gotta stay relevant as much as you can and feed your fans as much as you can.
I never wanted to be that fad type of artist. When I looked up to artists, watching TV, I wanted to see somebody. I wanted to touch that person. I wanted to sound like them. I wanted to move like them. That' s what I want my fans to do. So that's why, everything that I do, the music I make, how I dress, it's all based off my lifestyle.
At the end of the day, people have the right to have opinions. I have the right to have an opinion. And I have the right to say what I want on my music 'cause it's my music. If you don't like it, don't click on it, don't download it.
Growing up, I was brought up around Irish music, Irish traditions.
— Tyson Fury
I want to take Justin Bieber for a month and just lock him up in a cage where we sit and make music. He's one of the most successful people in the world, but his music could be so much tighter.
I don't like being put in a box. I just make music, you know?
I'm a genuine lover of music. I've always watched the Grammys from home.
— Tyler Oakley
We're past the self-doubt. We just have fun with it and just try to make the best music that we can make.
When you write music that expresses doubt or concern, or talks about some of the darker things that a developing human goes through, people will come out of the woodwork to listen to someone else say it out loud.
It is true that if you hear our music described, it sounds unappealing. I used to laugh and agree with people when they said it didn't make any sense.
Music is what I do naturally.
I grew up doing theater and music, and in fact, I spent more time doing theater, and I'd do music when I could.
Every artist has a moment where they think about quitting music for a moment because it's scary.
I knew what I wanted to be, but I didn't know exactly how to get there. I thought you move to Nashville, you sing downtown, and someone discovers you, and you become a country music star. I had no idea.
I love to perform, to give glory to God with my own brand of funky gospel music. I think it's my mission to show people that God, that Jesus, can be cool.
— Tyka Nelson
I had faith that music would be able to take me somewhere. I didn't know where. I just was like, 'Keep having faith, and any doors that open, I'll walk through them and see what happens from there.'
Sour Patch, Swedish Fish. I love candy, man. I can't go without candy. And when I'm recording, I always have a TV on with cartoons - on mute, though. When I'm recording, I like to look at the TV now and then and see some crazy, wacky stuff. When you're thinking creative, it just keeps you creative. Everybody got their way of making music.
I want to make people feel certain ways when they listen to my music. Whether it's partying or going through relationship problems or grinding or getting dressed and feeling fly. I want to be who I am and have emotion in my music that affects people.
I'm making music that I love and I want to hear. At the same time, things like making money, making crazy money - you gotta find ways to reach to everybody but uplift everybody.
