The Internet is a whole new world opening up.
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 are people that bring artists to me to look at it and it's a question of whether I like their music and their look and if I think there's something they have that makes them different and commercial.
When I was in top 40 bands, I always had to learn new material and new styles.
Commercial music, for the most part, is popular music and you always have to keep that in mind.
