Soul of Man chats to I Like Music
Justin: Hmm. I think the notable difference is that the internet has made a huge impact on the creative world, especially in the ways that you can get noticed. It can be through popular choice and building up a memento of people who admire what you do, which I think is great. Unfortunately it has destroyed the music business, because everything is basically free. In terms of approach it is one of those stupid Catch 22 situations, it is chicken and egg, because how do you achieve what you want to achieve if you aren't already successful, and once you are successful it snowballs.
I started organising parties, doing the artwork or employing my parents to run the bar. You just need to be hands on and be enterprising. Making a start and putting yourself out there and getting experience with people. It continues to be like that as well, pulling pints, emptying bins, cleaning out toilets and booking artists etc. It's not always the glamorous DJ side of things. Even with some of the artists who have a very focused plan, there are a lot of things you have to say no to. It's like when you write an essay, you get rid of loads of content, you don't get a pat on the back for the things that you have taken out, you just get slagged off for the things that you have left in. Haha!

Terry, The Temptations: ilikemusic because... There’s no way I could ever imagine a world without music.
Jun: ilikemusic because... music can convey a mood, enhance a mood or change a mood. Music can be used to inspire and the artform is simple yet complicated. It's fun to listen to and even more fun to create and perform. It speaks when just a simple word can't. It's a blessing!!
Del: ilikemusic because... music is life
Lupe Fiasco: ilikemusic because... It gives me a chance to escape and reach people I wouldn’t ordinarily be able to reach. And without music the world would be kinda quiet.
Leon Jean-Marie: ilikemusic because... It transcends. It really creates emotion with someone. That feeling it gives you, it goes through boundaries. To create something, it just breaks through all the walls. When you connect with a song, that is it, that is magic isn't it?
Desyn Masiello: ilikemusic because... It saved my life!
MARS: ilikemusic because... tom kelly is a great producer and Mark Angelo Studios in London is the best place to record your record!
Taio Cruz: ilikemusic because... It’s my life and it’s the air that I breathe. It calms me when I’m feeling uptight and it’s there for me when I want to party if I want to listen to something up tempo, it’s just amazing in any situation. That’s why I like music!
Alicia Keys: ilikemusic because... it makes you feel!
