"I'm the type of artist who touches people, that's the type of artist that I am"
About this Quote
The repetition does a lot of work. “Type of artist” lands twice like a stamp, as if he’s had to clarify this before - to labels, to audiences, to interviewers who’d rather talk about optics than guts. It’s also a subtle defense against the modern suspicion that sincerity is just marketing. By saying it this plainly, he frames connection as craft, not accident. “Touches people” isn’t about ego (though there’s confidence); it’s about value in an attention economy that rewards loudness, speed, and irony.
Context matters because Lusk comes out of spaces where voice is spectacle and the performer is packaged fast. In that ecosystem, emotional directness can read as old-fashioned or overly earnest. His line pushes back: I’m not here to be “content.” I’m here to move you - to make the room feel something, to make a song behave like a hand on your shoulder. It’s a simple sentence with a strategic edge: if you can’t measure what I do in charts, you’ll have to measure it in people.
