There are people that bring artists to me to look at it and it's a question of whether I like their music and their look and if I think there's something they have that makes them different and commercial.
I'm continuing to produce and will start a new record soon, as well.
But a lot of the old fans are listening to a lot of the younger music. So I gotta keep moving forward, and they'll move forward too.
Commercial music, for the most part, is popular music and you always have to keep that in mind.
I could easily not be the person that people know.
I don't necessarily want people to know all my intimate feelings about Tracey.
I enjoy music that is commercial.
I still write the same way and have the same perspective.
I think that in order for music to be heard in a lot of different situations you have to always consider that.
I think that whenever there's a good script we try to make that happen, but it's all based off of a good story, a good script, but I don't believe you should do it just because it's African-American.
I would say that I've been lucky. Being blessed and not really ever giving up.
The reality is, some people don't want you to change or go anywhere different.
It's about finding great artists and being part of their careers.
It's like spicy food - sometimes you have to tone it down so more people can enjoy it.
The Internet is a whole new world opening up.
