Lady Luck

Last week a young singer got in touch with me on Instagram.

He said he listened to my tracks on Spotify and liked the production style.

He asked me if I could write him a hit. I said: “I’ll do my best!”

I asked him more questions about what he’d like me to help him with: writing / arrangement / production / mixing / mastering / so I could figure out how much it’d be for him to hire me.

He said: “I need you to do all those things, please” and he added: “could you do it for free… please.”

I very much enjoyed his politeness!

Now, I wasn’t upset, I was sad for him.

If he keeps going on like that he will have nothing serious to release for years.

On his Instagram pics he wore expensive sports clothes, pics of him partying and drinking and going on sun holidays (pre Virus time I imagine!)

What is most important to him?

Not investing in his music obviously, so that’s why I was more sad for him than anything else.

On the other hand, I’ve met people working overtime at tiring jobs to be able to record and release their songs…

I wonder if lady luck picks one of these two kinds of people which one it’d be….
