Kenneth Edmonds

It might be a huge hit, it might not; but you learn something doing it.

I'm continuing to produce and will start a new record soon, as well.

The whole process of this record was an education for me as a musician.

There's artists that I'm working with on a new label of mine. Foxy Nova and Supa Nova.

I think that in order for music to be heard in a lot of different situations you have to always consider that.

I enjoy music that is commercial.

I don't necessarily want people to know all my intimate feelings about Tracey.

The most exciting thing for all of us is movies and movie stars.

Unfortunately, a lot of executives aren't like producers, and can't hear the diamond in the rough.

I usually prepare a track and then I work with the artist when it's time to do the vocals.

When I was in top 40 bands, I always had to learn new material and new styles.

It's about finding great artists and being part of their careers.

I don't go to that many Broadway shows, so I can't really say anything.

Commercial music, for the most part, is popular music and you always have to keep that in mind.

You can find a diamond in the rough a lot of times.

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.

I could easily not be the person that people know.

The Internet is a whole new world opening up.

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.

It's like spicy food - sometimes you have to tone it down so more people can enjoy it.

The reality is, some people don't want you to change or go anywhere different.

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.

I still write the same way and have the same perspective.
