Hip-hop was fast, originally. It was always fast music.
The Rolling Stones... The Rolling Stones have a reflection to my music; I wouldn't deny it. I think that's honest.
I know that I can sing. That's the reason I started playing music when I was twelve years old.
What love is to man, music is to the arts and to mankind.
I could compare my music to white light which contains all colours. Only a prism can divide the colours and make them appear; this prism could be the spirit of the listener.

Words make you think a thought. Music makes you feel a feeling. A song makes you feel a thought.
But without the experience of actually singing or playing these things yourself, you don't have the same kind of involvement or understanding of what these musical moves mean. And that is a very big problem in addressing the future of music.
Music was always a big part of my family. Only a few of us had the talent - or the courage - to walk out on a stage.
My sister, singer Jessie Ware, and I are always exchanging music. We brainstormed her wedding playlist for months.

Music is only special when it's coming from a genuine place - it's just energy trapped in a bottle.
I have studios in the different places where I live - in Ibiza, Paris and London - but they're not crazy studios, they're just rooms with good monitors, and all I do is plug my laptop in. It's a different way to make music, but for me, I love it, because it's more connected to the world.
