Quote:
“Leaving the city at the age of 25, I had already gone from the head of a vocal and instrumental ensemble to an employee of the city’s culture department. Held major events - city, regional, international. IN free time wrote songs to local stars. I think after a while I would become a deputy, there was a direct path. Maybe I would have ended up in Moscow anyway, only along the political line - I also liked this and still like it. ”

“I used to write for pop artists to order to earn money. And among them there were many one-day groups. Many people think that it is enough to buy a song from good author, record a clip with a fashionable director - and success is guaranteed. But the crisis put everything in its place.

And when an artist finds his composer, who gives out a series good songs, a tandem is formed, which forms the success of the performer. In addition, the composer must also be a music producer. He has to understand how his songs should sound in order to be successful.”

Or I can just take stories from life: hear a phrase dropped by someone or even listen to the president and continue thinking about the topic, embody it creatively.
