After I was done, Maceo’s bass player got down on one knee as if he were proposing, took a string off of his bass guitar and coiled it up around my ring finger. He hushed the crowd and said into the microphone, “Wendy, from this day forward you are married to music. You have a gift from God. You must devote your life to using this gift or else you will deprive the world of something so special.” I got the chills.

If you want to be a songwriter and place a song with a popular artist, then it’s ok to follow the trends. This is mainly because many labels are afraid to take big risks on something that sounds too different than the status quo.
