Unfortunately, a lot of executives aren't like producers, and can't hear the diamond in the rough.
I would say that I've been lucky. Being blessed and not really ever giving up.
There's artists that I'm working with on a new label of mine. Foxy Nova and Supa Nova.
Music was what I always wanted to do and I was one of the lucky few to achieve my ambition and earn a living from it for which I'm very grateful.
When I was in top 40 bands, I always had to learn new material and new styles.
I usually prepare a track and then I work with the artist when it's time to do the vocals.
