It's a lot easier producing for people or being in the background, and they can take all the fire from the front. But in order to express the ideas that I have without any kind of contamination, I thought it would be a cool thing to be out front.
I'm all for trying anything once; otherwise, you end up like David Guetta - reproducing the same formula over and over.
I don't ever think it's a good idea to try to recreate the success you've had before; it's all about chasing something fresh and new.
I don't think about the success that I've had - I've had a lot of success with music - but I always look at it like it's a new day.
As a breed, I think artists are never 100% satisfied with their work, and we will always want that little bit of extra time to put the final gloss on it.
My brothers came home with country, jazz, everything... it was always very normal to me to make any type of music. It was possible to fuse all the sounds, so it never sounded confusing to me to mix jazz and dubstep.
