I was signed to a record label at the same time as my friend Elliot Murphy, who makes great records to this day.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have been with the record company and Tommy was there doing records with other people.
I can't believe I got a major-label record deal. My music was quirky, and my voice was so odd and high and girlish, it was like a weird novelty act.
I got caught up in doing records for other artists. I just stayed behind the scenes, and time just kinda passed.
I am a singer first and foremost. I was lucky enough to have a manager, when I was 15, who knew the heads of a lot of record labels at the time.
We started with Denny Cordell, and he was a great record producer. He knew exactly how to take a band that knew absolutely nothing, and guide you without trying to tell you what to do.
I never sought out a record deal. It caught me with my pants down. I was just a musician doing my thing, I didn't even send my records out.
I just have so much love for my record label.
I made this record without a record label.
Well the way I ended up with my own record is that I did this concert at Wesleyan University. It was just one night and we had no thought of making a record.
I started my own record label.
