Kenneth 'Babyface' Edmonds

“The most important thing for a songwriter is to be a good listener.”

“Success is not a destination, it's a journey.”

“Music is the one thing that can connect us all.”

“I've always been a quiet person. I'm not a person that wants to be the center of attention.”

“You can't write a song if you're not in love. You can't write a song if you're not hurt.”

“My process has always been to try to write a song that feels classic.”

“I think the thing that I've learned is that it's all about the song.”

“When you're producing, you're trying to get the best out of the artist.”

“The one thing I've learned over the years is that you can't please everybody.”

“You have to be true to yourself. That's the most important thing.”

“The best songs come from real-life experiences.”

“I don't think I'll ever retire. Music is my passion.”

“I think R&B is in a good place. There's a lot of great artists out there.”

“Love is the key. If you've got love, you can get through anything.”
