Musician said everything that, in general, and so well known, but that is no less true: that the project stamp of the same artists and actually stifles creativity at its root. And what of the judges for the soul is nothing but the desire to make ourselves advertising. And for those who want to get through without changing yourself is to use the old proven scheme - starting with small areas, gradually moving forward. It is hard, but who said that it would be easy? Although the British musical industrial experiencing now is not the best of times, X-Factor and its analogues can not improve the situation, added the composer.
