The fact is the world is lost. Our culture has become desensitized and cruel – we treat people as substandard if they are no longer what’s “hot” or if they are not rich and famous. The media and pop culture including music and television play a huge role in this transition. Just look at what the top television shows and songs are. What is the message? How do they make you feel??
I just spoke to Quincy Jones this weekend about just this and his words were, “today’s music is dumbed down.” Music is so important in our daily life but it has been stripped away from us by empty lyrics, redundant beats and backed by a message of sex. The world needs beautiful music again; music that fills our soul with love and happiness. If all that you are being fed is garbage than you will feel and act like garbage.
As an artist I have a responsibility to humankind to create beauty and better in the world and I strive for that every day. I look forward to the day that I can reach millions of souls.
