thinking people world
I think that Detroiters are some of the most resilient people in the world.
fun eye thinking
I don't think I've ever had more fun doing anything in my life than trading verses with Daryl Hall on 'Private Eyes.' That's as fun as it gets.
thinking soul together
I think that what happens is that all of my modern influences blend together with the older soul influences and you get Mayer Hawthorne.
thinking people soul
A lot of people think I live in a soul bubble.
kids thinking parent
I don't want kids listening to my music thinking it's for their parents. I want them to feel it's theirs.
kids music
It's important that when kids are listening to my music they don't think of it as their parent's music.
attribute comments criticism everybody expecting genuinely gonna gotten guess hearing lack love music people surprised
Everybody comments that I'm white. I'm surprised I haven't gotten more criticism for it. I'm always expecting any day now it's gonna come. I guess I just attribute the lack of hate to people hearing the music and hearing how much I genuinely love it.
draw generally relationships
I've been really lucky to have had my fair share of relationships over the years and experiences to draw from. But I would say that I generally am not the one doing the heartbreaking.
avoid gone pitfalls situations women
I've been through a lot of situations with women and if I can help someone else avoid the pitfalls that I've gone through then I'm happy to help.
I've been DJing since before I could read the labels on the records.
music people shows
Music is timeless, so I want to give people shows they'll never forget so that I can do this forever.
close people understand
I couldn't live in L.A. and not be close to the beach, you know, that's like the whole thing. I don't understand people who don't live by the beach. Why would you not?
area best guy musical obviously philly shout
Shout out to Daryl Hall. He is the best. One of my true musical heroes. He comes from the Philly area so when it comes to true soul, the guy obviously is the expert.
call care listening music people talking
I really don't care at all what people call me as long as they're listening to the music and talking about it. They can call me a space-jazz flautist. I don't care at all.
