My goal is that my makeup and style will inspire Midwestern housewives. I want there to be a breakdown of 'Justin's smoky eye' in Cosmo.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
I'm so connected to the community that I was lucky enough to be born into.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
When you are born gay, you are born into a rich culture of politics, music, and art, but you are also a minority in your own home.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
Obviously, Gaga's one of the greatest music visionaries of our time, and Beyonce is one of the greatest visions of our time. She is a music visionary, too.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
Once I got into pop songwriting, I was kind of just ready to help other people tell their stories... I'm here to facilitate and structure and grow and make things a little more fabulous and a little more urgent.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
For the most part, it's straight white men running these labels and publishing companies.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
I think that because we have these big female pop stars, people forget that women and marginalized people are so underrepresented in this business.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
I am a genderless sea creature who has been writing and studying music since I was 12.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
For me personally, I'm anti-gun and always have been and always will be. But I'm definitely not someone who is looking to abolish the Second Amendment. I think we're definitely interpreting it wrong.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
I shot a gun one time in New Zealand. An entertainment news program there thought, since the band was called Semi Precious Weapons, they would bring us to a gun range.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
Being a songwriter, you are accepting that this isn't about you. If you do want it to be about you, you're going to be really miserable.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
Music spoke to me when I was young in such an intimate, empowering, magical way, and I think that music is already doing that for young queer kids.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
Young women should be telling stories of other young women. And if the superstar who is an amazing storyteller isn't a writer, that's totally fine, but we should get a young female writer in the room to work on that song with us.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
The fans that fall in love with you at the show are always the most passionate.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
For me, as a performer or a songwriter, Stevie Nicks is always a huge inspiration as well as Iggy Pop.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
It's interesting to see the more femme that you present yourself, the more people sort of dehumanize you.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
The only thing that's serious to me about music is making sure marginalized people are included in the story.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
Pop just means popular - it can be any genre, and if it becomes popular, then it's pop music.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
I've had the experience of going through homophobia in my work, and I can share my experiences so future generations don't have to deal with what I've dealt with.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
The one time I shot a gun, the feelings I felt, I was guilty for feeling them. There is an exhilaration and a glamour, and I felt awful for feeling that.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
Beyonce, Stevie Nicks, Ani DiFranco, Cardi B - Women tell awesome stories.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
I didn't want a day job anymore, so I somehow made the jewelry line work. Now that I look back on it, it was, like, the dumbest idea ever. Everyone and their mother has a jewelry line, so in retrospect, maybe not the smartest fallback plan. But it ended up working out great!
Quote by -Justin Tranter
'World Is Our Playground' is a big room banger that makes you wanna check into a hostel and call Mike Taylor.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
I'm fortunate that I have a female publisher, and her boss is a man of color. My world is a little more diverse, but the majority of the business is not diverse at all.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
In some ways, it's more rewarding to hear someone interpret a piece of music that you're a part of.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
When I saw Courtney Love in 1994, I knew what I wanted to do. The minute I saw a female-fronted rock n' roll band, that changed my life.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
I was borderline deluded to think something as outrageous as Semi Precious Weapons could have been mainstream.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
The beauty of letting marginalized people tell their own stories is it isn't only the right thing to do socially, but it's also the right thing to do financially. People love the truth, and people like to spend money on the truth.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
Gaga the person is much like Gaga the celebrity. She is very sweet, loyal, and funny with her fans, and she is very sweet, loyal, and funny with her friends. On stage, she is over-the-top, ridiculous, dirty, and genuine on stage, and she is very over-the-top, ridiculous, dirty, and genuine with her friends.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
The larger streaming grows, the less money there will be to get the music out there, which, to me, is the sad part.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
If you think of 'Chandelier,' Sia's singing her heart out about all those moments before she got sober, and that's one way to convey emotion and make people hear every word.
Quote by -Justin Tranter
Truly saying sorry is never easy to do, and when you are, you just hope it's not too late.
