Zitat des Tages von Dhani Harrison:
I love getting into a studio with a bunch of friends. When the day's done, we've made something. We recognize that we're from different walks of the music industry, and there's no reason we shouldn't be collaborating. That's what I'm trying to create with thenewno2 - a sense of community.
My dad used to say to me, 'You look more like me than I do.'
It was a relief to be able to do my own band, because I was very responsible for all this amazing music I didn't want to mess up before.
I'm still getting used to being called a composer. A poseur, maybe.
'Keep your head down at school.' Those are sage words from my dad. They kept me in check for years.
You can' t help being a musician because you've grown up with music, yet being one means being compared to your dad and being slated for it. But I really don't have the ambitions of most people going into the industry.
I recently got into 'Lie to Me' with Tim Roth and 'The Mentalist.'
I was very empty after my father passed away. It was an emotional time, as it would be for anyone, but to be in the studio every day was kind of cathartic and healing and it just seemed very natural to continue.
I don't really plan to be a pop star; I just want to be able to make music without the whole My Dad thing hanging over me, which everyone in my position goes through.
I suddenly realized that in order to do what I wanted to do, I had to become that which I hated - which is the head of a record company or a digital media conglomerate - and just do whatever you want.
I never really saw my dad around when the Iron Maiden and the AC/DC were playing. But he knew what I was doing. I was just absorbing music. So he just kind of left me to my own devices.
One interviewer asked me: 'How do you feel that you've betrayed your father?' That wasn't really very cool.
My job description is... being enthusiastic.
'Live a Lie' is inspired by recent combinations found in dubstep.
I only discovered electronic music as a teenager and I still love the Prodigy and Massive Attack.
I did rebel. I was the rebel in my family, because my dad wanted me to go and just travel with him.
Everyone's seen the Beatles.
It's funny, because music is one of those things it is natural to go into. You hear it so much growing up, it kind of permeates you and eventually you spew out some music of your own.
I was recording stuff with my dad when I was like five, six years old. I played with him on tour. I'd gone with him to Japan in '91, played some gigs, did a couple shows at the Albert Hall.
I was an only child. I hung out with my parents.
Playing music has always felt very natural. You know, you do try to do other things, and you do learn lessons that way, but, eventually - well... if your dad is a plumber, you become a plumber. It's the family business, and I felt like I was taking over the family business.
