Band Members: If you want an honest opinion on your songs etc just ask, but I warn you, I tell only the truth. If you can't take constructive criticism then you're definitely in the wrong business. I've no time for dreamers or people who just don't listen. Any other A&R Director would tell you exactly the same. It's all in the ears!! Absolutely anyone can write a song but, not everyone can write a hit!! To me it’s all about hits and quality not quantity.
Owning a PC and putting beats together does not make you a producer but, more like a musician. Although we all have a right to dream, let’s try and be real about this.
