Zitat des Tages über Solo-Künstler / Solo Artist:
I think it would be nice to sell 15 million albums as a solo artist. I'd have to deal with all the repercussions of that, but that wouldn't be too bad.
The expectation on me as a solo artist is very different to the audience's expectation of a Pink Floyd show.
People sometimes ask if I want to be a solo artist, but it just wouldn't be any fun being on your own.
Everything that Eddie has said about me is the total opposite of what really happened. Eddie says I wanted to be a solo artist. No, Eddie wanted to be a solo artist.
I was able to endure and play a special part in music history. And I always managed to keep working, even if I wasn't a big solo artist.
Over the years, I was never really driven to become a solo artist, but I was curious to find out who I was as an individual creative person. It's taken some time, but now I feel I've truly paid my dues. I guess I'm at a point now where I'm more comfortable in my own skin.
I'm also performing regularly in Southern California with two bands. As a solo artist doing acoustic sets and a member of the Jenerators, my rock n roll band that has been around for a long time now.
As a solo artist, it's so easy to be lumped into a singer / songwriter genre and writing sleepy, sad songs that are very emotionally rich that mean a lot to you, and people just get kind of tired.
I've been a solo artist for a year now, and I think I should start thinking about the future now. Every spare time I get, I want to be in the studio and work on music for 2015. It's a lot of work.
I cannot exist as a solo artist.
I can be a little messy and wild and carefree with my creativity as a solo artist. In a group, there's a certain structure, and everyone has a part to play, and being a solo artist, I can do as I please.
I think I'll continue to work as a solo artist.
As a singer-songwriter, a solo artist with a guitar, I can only write so many weepie little bedroom songs.
I'm competitive with anyone who writes a good song - I don't care if it's a band or solo artist or whoever.
The jingles saved my life. When I got hired to do that, I was on top. I finally was making a living doing what I loved. Before that, it was so bleak; it got so dark in L.A. I was 25, been living there for seven years trying to make it, and getting really close to getting signed with different bands and as a solo artist only to have my hopes dashed.
I knew I didn't want to make a country record just because that's not really what I would have ever made as a solo artist.
I see myself as a composer who plays music and likes to play with other people, and not just as a solo artist.
As a solo artist, I just felt cemented in front of the mike stand. There was very little time to play with the audience and be a band member.
Now that I'm coming out with my own record people can see I'm a solo artist.
For me as a solo artist, I never want to be a nostalgia act.
I discovered that it was a lonely world being a solo artist. Then I started working with another solo artist, Rod Stewart, and he used to tell me how lonely he was!
The reason I decided to become a solo artist in the first place was because I always felt that the results that I got from working as a team where everyone had equal say... ended up with compromised, watered-down results.
I get a little sick of myself as a solo artist. I get a little bit bored.
