While my six-song EP is unlikely to set any sales records, it's one of my biggest personal achievements - on par with starting my own company. On par with selling my own company.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't really sell many records.
I don't know how many records I'm selling.
My real life helped me sell a lot of records.
I actually don't think that I'm gonna sell a lot of records.
My aspirations aren't to sell millions of records, but to write really good songs.
Everybody told me that if I insisted on doing rockabilly music, I'd never have a chance of selling any records. In fact, I lost count of how many people told me to ditch it all together, in favour, I guess, of sounding like everybody else.
I am in a business that's built on record sales and reputation and how your single is doing and where your song is on iTunes. But the kind of music that I do comes from my beliefs.
People assume I sell a lot more records than I actually do. I really don't sell any.
I grew up in an era where the record companies just sold records to everybody, and the whole family bought songs.
Honestly, a lot of people thought that I was on top of the world selling so many millions of records, and that this is the life that everybody would want, but I never got to enjoy any of my success.
