Most people in the U.K. discovered me playing a standard on Parkinson. In America, it was on VH1 singing an original called 'All At Sea,' which is a contemporary pop song. So the people that know me there tend to think of me in the singer/songwriter category.
The audience wants to hear 'Rock n' Me,' 'Space Cowboy,' 'Living in the U.S.A.' When you start to play something else, you can feel the interest and enthusiasm go; the steam goes out of room. They are really 'Greatest Hits' fans and that's what they want to hear. It's disappointing that it's this way in the U.S.
What I've learned over the last 6 or 7 years, I would love to teach people. I still have a lot to share with people and especially within the US.
Americans are very patriotic and they want someone to support. In order to entice more fans, and to allow F1 to compete with Nascar and IndyCar, there needs to be an American driver.
I think the States is a huge part of the music industry worldwide. There are so many other artists and music industry people here, so I think to be working my audience here is definitely a go.
Chicago is my biggest base for U.S. readership. If I ask my readers where should I come, Chicago always has the most votes.
Facebook and Myspace are the U.S. audience, which is tried and true when it comes to being susceptible to ads.
The States still has the best audiences by far.
What we've discovered is that Americans seem to love our saucy humor.
I am itching like hell to play America because I know that if I did the show over there, they would love it.
Our U.S. audience is composed of globally-minded Americans, an elite category, the ones who do have passports, the decision-makers, senior ranks in the administration, senators on Capitol Hill.
I really enjoy playing America. I like the audiences there. It's the home of a lot of music I grew up with.
I've built a solid career there, but America's ten times the size. Now that we're onto the third record, I feel like the stars have aligned and American audiences are embracing my music even more.
