“I built a reputation as a songwriter in the industry before my own hits. People were used to coming to me for songs. There were songs like 'Clown' and 'Mountains' that were my songs that I wanted to keep. But the record labels saw me as a songwriter. It was hard to get people to believe in me as an artist.” PeopleBelieveHardWantedUsedArtistSongMy OwnRecordsSawsIndustryMountainBuiltReputationLabelsBelieve In MeSongwritersClownRecord Labels Author:Emeli Sande
“I was finding it very difficult to find a label that understood what I wanted to do and really believed that people wanted to hear something honest and a little bit different. So, I did feel a bit like a clown. You're knocking on everyone's door trying to get them to believe what you're doing.” PeopleFeelsTryingBelieveLittlesDifferentWantedBitsDifficultDoorsHonestFindingsLittle BitUnderstoodLabelsClownKnocking Author:Emeli Sande
“I dont believe in labels. I want to do the best I can, all the time. I want to be progressive without getting both feet off the ground at the same time. I want to be prudent without having my mind closed to anything that is new or different. I have often said that I was proud that I was a free man first and an American second, and a public servant third and a Democrat fourth, in that order, and I guess as a Democrat, if I had to takeplace a label on myself, I would want to be a progressive who is prudent.” IfsMenWantMindFirstsBelieveSaidI CanDifferentOrderFeetProudThirdsDemocratLabelsServantProgressiveFourthDo The BestFree ManPrudentPublic ServantsFeet Off The Ground Book:Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States: Lyndon B.
