Music Culture World Quotes

This collection holds 8 music culture world quotes, drawn from writers, leaders, artists and thinkers across the QuoteForever archive. The most quoted voices here are L.A. Reid, Chanel Iman and Rhiannon Giddens.

They are ordered so that each author has a say before anyone repeats, which means the first page gives you the range of the topic rather than one writer's back catalogue.

Use the grid and list views to change how much of each quote you see, follow an author's name to read everything else they said, or open a quote on its own page to copy it, share it, or turn it into a picture quote.

L.A. Reid / Music Executive

World events can shape culture. Music is either a soundtrack for or a narration of changing times. And who knows how that's going to go?

Chanel Iman / Model

My taste in music originates from my culture and heritage, and from traveling the world and listening to all kinds of fun sounds and bits.

Rhiannon Giddens

I'm discovering so much about how invisible, othered and dismissed the Islamic world is, in terms of the massive effects it had on European music and culture.

Vladimir Putin / President Of Russia

The whole world recognizes Russia's cultural achievements. It is impossible to imagine the world culture without Russian culture, without our music and literature.

George Crumb / Composer

Unquestionably, our contemporary world of music is far richer, in a sense, than earlier periods, due to the historical and geographical extensions of culture to which I have referred.

Prodigy / Rapper

Hip-hop basically controls the world through fashion, through music, through language, through culture. It's basically running the world, no matter what anyone wants to think, and that's just the way it is.

John Oates / Guitarist

Dick Clark's 'American Bandstand' spread the gospel of American pop music and teenage style that transcended the regional boundaries of our country and united a youth culture that eventually spread its message throughout the entire world.

Sufjan Stevens / Singer-Songwriter

Musicians are often asked to answer for an entire culture, or for an entire movement. It's a process of commodification. It becomes packaged and summarized in a word like 'emo' or 'grunge'... or 'folk music.' I think that's just language itself, trying to understand the mysteries of the world.
