Anyone Quote by Neil Jackson
“When I was eight, my mum found me humming to myself and scribbling on a scrap of paper. When she asked me what I was doing, I got shy. I was writing a Christmas song, and I had never shared my music with anyone before. Reluctantly, I sang it for her... and she loved it. Of course she did - she's my mum.”

![“It ain't this big I, little You. Music is to be shared. Music is not a hustle. [Hip hop's become] cultural stripmining [by the major labels]. Some people get into this music to make a killing but music is a way to make a living.” quote by Chuck D](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/86d/chuck-d-2065_bigs_it-ain-t-this-big-i-little-you-music-is_1548865.jpg)
