It's amazing to hear, as a voice matures and then starts to decline, what kind of emotion is still conveyed by a really good vocalist.
My father was a stone mason, and a talented amateur pianist and vocalist.
I cringed when I heard myself described as a Jazz singer. I've always thought of myself as a Jazz vocalist.
Eye was a great discovery. He is one of the great vocalists of all time.
We've had a problem finding a vocalist. We have not been lucky yet to find the one. I think the problem is that the three of us have such a pedigree of vocalist, that if we come out with someone that's not good we'll obviously be slated!
I progressed through so many different styles of music through my teen years, both as a player and a vocalist, particularly the jazz and pop of the early 20th Century.
We used to have a main female vocalist. But she had a baby. Now we do the singing ourselves.
I think an artist can fit under a few different categories depending on how much you explore your creativity. It can vary from artist to artist from musician to performer to vocalist. I thrive on creativity. So in the long run I want to be an all around entertainer.
Some may say that I couldn't sing, but no one can say that I didn't sing.
I needed music today. And like always it was there for me.
I didn't come in and say: "I'm a singer." I came into the band as a second guitar player and a vocalist, but not the songwriter. I had been writing poetry for years, so I sort of had the nature of the words. I felt like no one else could sing my lyrics, so I took a crack at it.
Best things in life aren't things.
Only in Canada could somebody with a voice like mine win 'Vocalist of the Year'.
Sometimes people say I should see a therapist, but I don't want any therapist wrecking my weirdness.
When it's open and honest, that's when the real nature of who you are as a vocalist or as a performer, all of that stuff can finally start to become what it's supposed to be. Like a settling into yourself. It's not even a musical thing, it's a whole mindset, a whole acceptance of who you were supposed to be. Life sounds good
When I first started, I wrote some songs with Linda Perry. She's so instrumental in a lot of artist's lives, listening to you and then helping you write songs that are you, that bring the most of what you are out, whereas a lot of producers might put their stamp on you. I gained confidence because I'm less of a straight-up, traditional vocalist.
Basically, I’m a musical vocalist, but I do voiceover stuff as a sideline, like plumbing or something.
I'm less of a straight-up, traditional vocalist.
When you talking about funk music you just talking about a collage of a lot of different types of music. They used strings, they had brass, they had vocalist.
There's always only been three of us [drummer Joey Shuffield, vocalist, bassist and keyboardist Tony Scalzo and myself], but when we first started we didn't have anybody augmenting the band, so everything had to be kinda to the point anyway. We did that record and toured a while on that, but I just got sick of playing it every night. It felt like doing push-ups to me.
My main objective was finding my individuality as a vocalist.
I don't want to be just a straight pop singer. I'm a vocalist and that's what I want to be seen as in the long run.
Letizia Gambi is a stunning vocalist
Punk-rock gave music back to people. For a long time, when I was very young, I went to go see arena rock bands. I was 16 and it was all I could get in to see, legally. And I saw Led Zeppelin and Ted Nugent and Van Halen and all that. Me and [Minor Threat and Fugazi vocalist] Ian MacKaye would go to these concerts, and it was fun.
Fortunately for me I'm a vocalist, I can sing forever. I'm not going to be pretty forever, but I'm going to sing forever!
