More quotes by Wendy Starland
I have to say one of the lessons I learned is to always be prepared.
Wendy Starland
There is a lot of incredible talent out there, however, talent alone is not enough. Being a great singer does not matter, if you are not singing great songs. Having great songs will not be obvious to record executives if they are not professionally produced. Consistently performing those songs extremely well is essential.
Wendy Starland
I have been exposed to most musical genres and have learned how to tackle them effectively.
Wendy Starland
If you follow a trend, by the time it is released it will sound like the same regurgitated music that the public has been hearing for the past eight months (at least.) I am not referring to genres or production that is considered to be timeless or classic sounding.
Wendy Starland
Many artists who sign deals in the US and UK get the benefit of worldwide promotion and have a better shot at breaking globally.

Being in the music business requires having a very strong resolve. You must be completely committed to the craziness that will inevitably ensue when pursing a career in music. There is no one who is immune to this. Not even the biggest music icons.

As a new artist you should ignore trends at all costs.

My strength is in my ability to be versatile.
Wendy Starland
I have certainly faced my fair share and will likely come across more. These experiences have been fuel for my music. Facing these challenges has forced me to recognize my own inner strength.
Wendy Starland
Every artist that becomes famous has a team, and needs to convince someone to believe in them enough to have others rally around them to achieve stardom. If I can be that person, then I am happy to do it.
Wendy Starland
Social media has been an incredible tool to connect to my fan base, and collaborate with people around the world. Some of my biggest breaks have come through people hearing my music on the Internet and then contacting me through social media.
Wendy Starland
Home is a place from which you can draw strength.
Wendy Starland
Taking constructive criticism from others is required to get to the next level.
Wendy Starland
In Europe, radio stations are owned by a variety of different entities, so there is less uniformity on radio programming and more opportunity for artists to get radio play and break overseas.
Wendy Starland
A good song can be produced in several different genres.
Wendy Starland
I would describe my style of songwriting as classic. I learned very early on and have stuck to the core principles of song structure regardless of which genre I'm writing in.
Wendy Starland
I first got interested in music as a toddler by my childhood babysitter, Rosetta Atkins. She taught me how to sing by imitating the voices on the gospel radio station she listened to - both men and women's voices.
Wendy Starland
Always have clear lines of communication and be open to trying new ideas. Being open to new ideas is crucial to growing as an artist. If you always have the same creative habits, how will you ever excel to the next level? The answer is, you won't. Taking those creative risks reaps the most incredible rewards.
