Record Deal Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

People think when you get a record deal all your problems will go away. We know that the bigger we get, the more problems we’ll have. I guess Puff Daddy was somewhat - what’s the word? - prophetic in that respect Picture Quote #1

I started growing my hair in December 89. I was seventeen. I signed my record deal and said I ain’t combing my hair no more. I don’t have too Picture Quote #1

I got a publishing deal with BMG, they were supportive, and some money to record demos Picture Quote #1

I was turning 20 during my first record. Those decade birthdays always kind of cause me, it seems, to reflect, look back, and then look forward. I just was closing this period of my life where I was living in a car and scrambling my whole life to then signing a six-record deal with Atlantic Picture Quote #1

I wanted out of my record deal with EMI. They wanted me to record one type of album; I wanted to record the type of music I wanted to make Picture Quote #1

I had knockback after knockback before I got anywhere. After I got my first record deal I thought that was it, then Gut Records went into liquidation. I was 20. I had no idea what that meant. I had a few days to get myself out of that contract or my work would be owned by someone else Picture Quote #1

What I did to celebrate was I went home to my 535-square-foot apartment by myself and ate supper by myself. That was how I celebrated getting a record deal Picture Quote #1

The Midwest breeds funny, eccentric people, to varying degrees. You play shows not because you’re expecting to get a record deal, but to do something fun outside of mowing lawns. Everything else is just gravy... Or mustard Picture Quote #1

I grew up listening to everything, and when I got signed to a record deal out of Nashville, that was my introduction to what was happening in country music Picture Quote #1

I’d gone from being this art student messing about with music to this girl with a record deal, magazine front covers and all this hype. In many ways, it was everything I ever wanted, but when it happened all I felt was total, paralysing fear Picture Quote #1

I DJ’d for years. I DJ’d in high school, and I think my parents thought it was a passing thing. And then when I was in my second year of college, I was like, ‘Yeah, you guys don’t need to send me money anymore. My DJ gigs are good enough. I’m selling music; I think I’m gonna have a record deal. I can pay my tuition.’ Picture Quote #1

I have a great family that loves me, a record deal at 14, and I get to do what I love every day Picture Quote #1
