The Importance of Being a Musician

I remember being 14, going into those studio sessions. And I would walk into these sessions with these producers and they would say, okay, like we have a few tracks that we want to play you. And I was like, no, actually write my own music. Can you play some instrumentals? Oh. 50% of the time, people were like, oh, we need to call it A&R. Because I thought that this was just going to be an easy thing.
