Nile Rodgers Music Quotations

Music has to keep moving. But I was lucky. For me there was always something around the corner.

I used to play flute and clarinet at school, and although I wasn't thinking about making a living or getting a pay cheque, I already knew I was going to play music all my life.

My responsibility is to the artist first. There's something that artists intrinsically know about their music and their fanbase that neither the record company nor the producer really knows.

Music is the one part of the entertainment business where you can't fool anybody into buying a record.

Trust me, the only real way to understand 'Chic' is in highfalutin terms. Our chord progressions were based on European modal melodies. I made those early 'Chic' records to impress my jazz friends.

When I was very young, there was a lot of music at home, mostly jazz. I was walking around singing and pretending I was in bands from a very young age. But the first song that was really personal to me was 'Blue Suede Shoes'.

Robin's music for Conker: Live and Reloaded runs a zigzag course from snaptop groove guitar rock to wildly funny operatic parody. Rare really took a cutting-edge leap by having Rabbit In The Moon remix and perform Rock Solid . On the streets RITM are known for their over the top live performances as well their infectious beats.
