“The foundation for me is the songwriting and the craft. All I want is ...” — Van Hunt Quote

“The foundation for me is the songwriting and the craft. All I want is for people to hear the music. Just put me in front of an audience.”

“I was about 14 and I was having a lot of problems with my mom at home, and she really wanted me to focus on school and basketball. But music was all I wanted to do. I felt out of time and out of step with everyone, because they were all into hip-hop and I was so into Sly Stone and Prince.”

“Good, well-defined, well-honed art is not a foreign language. You can sell it to people. You just have to move your ego out of the way, clear out the unfinished fantasies you have about being an artist yourself, and just sell it.”

“I have been working on my craft and haven't just been sitting and eating potatoes.”

“I'm still learning my craft.”

“The only way to learn and hone your craft is by working hard and writing regularly.”
