His beautiful vision for the future of music.
“I think it will be a smooshing where all genres will be together, so it’s not dance music or electronic music or rock – it’s just music. That’s what I hope anyway, so then there’s no pressure to write anything. We can all just write music that we want to write.”[videoembed size=”full_width” alignment=”center”][/videoembed]
