When I was a kid, I played drums, and when I first got a 4-track, I would put down drumbeats and then do the rest of the tracks on top. Yevgeny Yevtushenko Read Quote
I’m very selfish. I make music that I love because I only live once, and I’m an artist. I don’t try to revolt against anybody, and I don’t try to please anybody. I feel very strongly that I if love it, someone else will love it – not everybody, though. Yevgeny Yevtushenko Read Quote
A lot of people don’t know this, but I started out as a blues-based player, and then, when I realized after playing 18 hours a day that there’s more than five notes per scale, that’s when my stuff became what it was. I started listening to violinists and flautists, and that’s how my style evolved. Yevgeny Yevtushenko Read Quote
I learned a lot from other people, and was inspired by what they did, but I didn’t copy anyone. I put many different blocks together to become what I am. I don’t know if that would have happened if everything was handed to me on a plate. Yevgeny Yevtushenko Read Quote
Just the whole thing of getting up in the morning – I love the sunshine, I love the palm trees. I’m that kind of guy. I like to drive around with the top down and just enjoy life. I never did that before, so it’s a beautiful thing. Yevgeny Yevtushenko Read Quote
