It all started with social media, building a fan base via Tumblr and YouTube, doing covers, and releasing a project with original music. Labels started to peel interest then. It was around the same time I was applying for college.
Justine Skye
I’m very lucky to work in so many different arenas of the entertainment industry and I do enjoy them all, but making music – original music – in the studio or live onstage is definitely my favorite thing to do.
Bill Mumy
Original music is always appreciated.
Bappi Lahiri
Hip-hop is definitely not what it used to be, which was creative, original music.
Missy Elliott
I’m not a household word. The climate for original music is always a bit difficult.
Jane Siberry
The whole point of ‘Acid Rap’ was just to ask people a question: does the music business side of this dictate what type of project this is? If it’s all original music and it’s got this much emotion around it and it connects this way with this many people, is it a mixtape? What’s an ‘album’ these days, anyways?
Chance The Rapper
I like being in a recording studio. I like watching a song go from the simplicity of the original music.
Grace Slick
Labels and people didn’t know if i could write original music or anything.
Gabby Barrett
In a way, the history of jazz’s development is a small mirror of classical music’s development through the centuries. Now jazz is a living form of original music, while classical music has gotten to the end of its cycle in terms of exploring its form.
Mike Figgis
One of the biggest obstacles I’ve overcome in my life was thinking I didn’t deserve to be successful. Artistically I’m not as much of a heavyweight as someone like Paul Simon or Joni Mitchell, because I’m not a creator of original music, and I worried about that for years.
Bonnie Raitt
I’d love to do a modern-day musical that’s full of original music. To get your contemporaries to sing and dance without looking foolish and for it to be transformational and magical and all those things a musical is supposed to be.
Danny Boyle
I started making original music during my YouTube process. And as a young female, dealing with a lot of male producers who were older and had more so-called experience, they would discourage me, telling me that what I was doing – and even my vision – was never going to work. And that lasted quite a long time.
Sabrina Claudio
It was important for the first piece of original music that I release to have a timeless feel because that’s the type of music I want to make.
Chloe Kohanski
Before YouTube, I was playing in restaurants and doing open mics – every once in a while, I’d throw an original in there. And then YouTube kind of just opened doors for me, so once I felt like I had an audience to share music with, I began to share my original music.
Megan Nicole
I’ll always work with Stones Throw, but I’m trying to start my own label to release my old material and sign new artists. I want to do everything from rock, to jazz, to electronic, to noise records and movie sound tracks. Both sampled and original music.
