Written on March 27, 2011 by Dylan Ferguson
Cee Lo Green believes writing a song is an act of faith.
The Bright Lights, Bigger City singer confessed he has no idea if a song is going to be a hit when he creates it, but writes all his tracks from the gut.
He said: You have to go with what you feel. Every time you write a song its an act of faith.
I hate to ruin it for people. Maybe I should start saying I expected the hits, but honestly, it would be like saying people are predictable and thats a little insulting.
Cee Lo real name Thomas DeCarlo Callaway also confesses his career path has shaped him as a person.
The 36-year-old star added: Ive always been recognisable in one way or another. Music did a lot for me it gave me shape, form and fashion.
Despite being best known for his pop songs including Run and Crazy with Gnarls Barkley Cee Lo was originally inspired by the rock scene.
He said: Rock n roll always spoke to me. Judas Priest had the look that I liked- when I was young I wanted to wear spikes.
I like things to be sincere and Black Sabbath was the most genuinely evil music that I heard.
