Social media gives a lot of people a platform where they can express their feelings. I like to do mine through songs. I let info build up. In some way, it translates into paper whenever I sit down.
I view music as entertainment. When I’m on stage, I don’t look at that as a platform for sharing ideology. Otherwise I’d be a zealot myself. That’s why, when people ask me, ‘Do you think you can change the world through your music?’ I say, ‘I doubt it.’
We look to find partners whose values align with that of our artists. We also look for unique platforms that the potential branding partner can provide. Sometimes that’s distribution, and sometimes it’s an advertising platform. Each situation is unique.

I’ve always believed since I was a kid that God was gonna allow me to play professional football, to use it as a platform to proclaim and live out the name of Jesus.

I feel that I had been rescued from the gutter by America. One day I was under the gutter, chased by police, thinking dogs were going to get me. I laid there listening to the dogs and the gutter. The next day, there I am standing on the Olympic platform, and you hear the anthem. I was proud.
The bigger your platform gets – it kind of feels like being Godzilla sometimes. You make a slight move and you can accidentally knock over a building. It’s a tough thing to navigate.

Social media is amazing because it’s opened a platform for so many people to have a voice – but that voice can get inside your head, and it can really mess with you.

I’ve always believed about brands and media that the mistake sometimes that’s made is to think you’re just going to take what you’ve been doing and kind of re-purpose it into the new platform. I don’t think that ever works because consumers look for different experiences in different media formats.
