Major Label Attention

Over the summer I wrote a song "Can't Walk Away" with a very talented singer/songwriter that goes by the name of Esh(e-shh!). I am so excited because she is in Atlanta right now recording that song with A&R reps from Jive Records. I've also been speaking with David Novik over at Universal/Decca Label group, after he showed interest in my first single "Spotlight".

So much was going on in the weeks leading up to my submission. My producer and I were both working until the wee hours of the morning making sure that everything sounded the best we could possible make it. My anxiety level was definitely at a high, something I have dealt with all my life. I focused in on my emotions and my energy, and just observed, mostly in complete silence. I sent the package off and it was now out of my hands, and I immediately got this surge of energy to move on. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to hear from Universal or Jive like yesterday, but I completed another step, and it felt good. To know that I got their attention is to know that I can get the attention of other labels as well. So again, I turn inward. To the silent truth that speaks to my creativity. And it is revealing to me things I thought were illusions of grandeur, but are turning out to be my reality.
