I'm definitely a singer-songwriter. I'm somewhere in the vein between Elliott Smith and Jack Johnson.
I'm big fan of soulful music - classic rock with a folk-ish twist.
The older the violin, the sweeter the music.
I love blues, mellow rock 'n' roll.
My taste is very '70s, like Garfunkel and James Taylor, so not too far from country, but not really the mainstream country that's on the radio.
As a producer, when I'm trying to make something soft, I start with a slow tempo. Then after that, it would be straight to acoustic guitar and vocals, or I'm going to go strings and just piano.
I'm a flutist so I know what they can deliver in terms of texture and sound and blurriness and softness. It's a very soft instrument.
I think Taeyang developed this image as a dancing singer, mostly because of records like 'Only Look At Me,' and 'Where U At.' To me, personally, I think Taeyang tried to make a change on 'I Need a Girl.' It gets a little mellower.
I wanted something very dense, something that would sustain long and more pieces of wood that would be soft, sweet, for more of a mellow sound.
I love slow music.
I never liked mellow sounding guitar.
