Who is Irving Azoff you ask? Only a legendary man in the music biz – I’m talking manager, label owner, agent and movie producer. He manages artists like The Eagles, Jewel, Van Halen, Seal, Steely Dan, Christina Aguilera…. So when Seana spotted him in Nashville, and walked right up to him with some lie about knowing his daughter, I was FREAKING OUT. And then, before I knew it, I was playing a song for him! It was amazing! And get this – the best part – when I finished (and he told me I was on pitch) Irving said, and I quote “You have a shot to make it in this Biz”.
OMG! I couldn’t believe those words came from Mr. Azoff himself. He seems, if he wants to, he can brutally honest – so his positive words meant the world to me and reinforced my belief in myself and my desire to make music. So then, I handed him my demo. A musician has to be prepared, right?
Seana, I owe you big time. Thanks Girl…
