Ch 3

Look you're gonna do the song

Kira comes in to the studio looking as best as she can, and being eighteen as I had once been and getting a beak like this one is so great that you don't want to give it up so easily.

She's probably put it in her head that she will be following every step I tell her to do, she looks pretty manageable, if that is the truth then I probably won't wan to manage/produce for her. Let's see first test.

"Hi Kira, welcome, I hope you like it here so far." I tell her trying no to sound to accommodating.

"Its great, I've dreamt of this day that I would record and now its actually happening." I hear her say as I try to disconnect myself and play along as best as I can as the bad producer who demands too much. If I think too much about hurting her feelings then I'll probably will not show her anything and she won't learn anything.

"So, which song do I play first?" She asks me. I smile, I was waiting for that.

"Well, see Kira, we had been looking for a fresh face for a new album we're putting together and you have such a great voice that when I heard you I thought you would like to give it a try."

She looks at me with a questioning look.

"But I thought that I was gonna play my songs."

"Oh, see, I don't think you know how it works, the producer, me, tells you what to sing. I mean you're songs are great, but they're not number one radio hits."

Her eyes widened and she mouths something off as she turns.

I can barely believe there are people out there who write songs as stupid as this, Bump to me, and I can't believe I'm gonna give her this to sing. She'll run as fast as she sees this. Horrible writing and a horrible mix, if only she knew that I was testing her.

I hand her the lyrics and try to look as an air head, I think I can pretend to look like one. I notice that again she's wearing yellow, funny, but why would she do that unless……. Sometimes I guess I just wander off in my own mind.

"So, Kira if you could please start we're starting in the key of A and then from there we'll go to the chorus…"

"Are you kidding me?" I hear her say, good she can stand up for herself.

"I can't sing this, its so meaningless and puts women down as if we all want some every hour of the day."

Good, she can't do this song, I'll give her another one.

"Well Kira like I've said you have to do the songs we chose for you that we think and are most like gonna bring in more record sales."

She looks oddly at me and grabs her guitar and strums it lightly, I wonder what that does for her. She smiles at me politely and nods.

"Ok, I'll do it , but if I don't like it then I'm getting out of here."


That day I had set out to go and look for a new producer or a new manager to help me build my career back up, and then I heard a voice, I wasn't one to tell people that they had great voices, but this voice was beautiful, accompanied by an acoustic guitar and her angelic voice was amazing.

I though about it more than once after that and I knew what I would do. After all I had been going for a month to interviews and voice auditions as a background vocal but nothing had happened.

I decided to go back to college and become a music producer, and learn the skills of the trade, I would help others with their dreams of getting their music to get heard, unlike me who's dreams had been shattered.


"Tanya," I hear Kira saying my name as I stand over her and look down at the lyrics on the paper.

"You're singing the song and I'll get the guy's to put in a good mix after that, we can listen to it, it'll probably have to be till tomorrow or another day when they have it ready." I tell her as I sit in my producer chair and smile my mean smile.

"Ok, I'm doing the song, but if I don't like it, can we please talk about future songs that I'll be doing?"

"Sure." I say let's see how she'll do that, I wonder to myself.
