He believes that he has the evidence to back up his claims. He claims that indie music is deliberately avoided.
As I talk A & R of guys, and they say they don't want that the music to sound 'Indie', which is a fancy way of saying they want it not sound good" he added.
He was then asked the mainstream music artists that he likes. As it turns out, he is a fan of Kanye West and Taylor Swift.
I love Yeezus", he explained. "I think it's one of the coolest sounding things and I think that Taylor Swift is one of the best singer-songwriter at all."

His praise for Taylor Swift not to end. He then compared with Michael Jackson, however, slammed by Lily Allen, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry in the process.
Taylor Swift cool, because it is the closest thing today, that listens to Michael Jackson on great pop music", he said. "There is a difference between her and Lady Gaga and Katy Perry and Lily Allen and all that." "Everything feels disposable, comparatively."
