And it's a lot harder to hide with four musicians than it is with eight.
From Valerie Simpson
It's a songwriter's dream to have a song recorded and run up the charts.
I don't know what I want to do. There are people who want me to do things. There's a possible book. There are lots of things to consider. I just have to figure out what I want to do. I'm not one to sit around and do nothing.
When you're a producer and an artist you're very critical of yourself. I like to produce other people, but I'm not that good at producing myself.
Nobody in my family was musical. I had no idea you could be a songwriter and make a living at it. It was all discovery. It was all just thrown at me.
I've already lived one full life, and so now I'm about to endeavor to see what else the good Lord has in store for me, and I'm wide open.
Sometimes you want a Part Two in your life.
We stand on our songs and we stand on the songs that we wrote for other people. That gives us a higher platform.
In the future I think the labels on most pop music are going to go. Everyone keeps jumping into everyone else's space.
