"The market didn't define the music; the music defined the market"
- Charlie Hunter
About this Quote
This quote by Charlie Hunter talks to the power of music and its capability to form the market. It suggests that the market does not determine what music is popular or effective, but rather that the music itself is what drives the marketplace. Music has the power to influence people's tastes and choices, and it is this impact that forms the marketplace. Music can produce patterns, set the tone for a particular category, and even develop new categories. Music can also be a reflection of the times, catching the spirit of a particular period and affecting the marketplace accordingly. Ultimately, it is the music that defines the market, not the other way around.

"We worked very hard to make the lyrics suit the music. I can't, like Elton John, for example, compose by lyrics. Elton has a great talent for that. Whatever you give him, including your questions, he composes in half an hour and makes a great song out of it"
