It couldn't be more satisfying to work on something almost anonymously for years, then to have it received affectionately with support.
But as a reporter, that's how you know you're doing a good job - when no one's talking about you. And something has gone wrong if they are.
Every performer has a little gem, a little pearl they have done that nobody pays much attention to. And then one day, somebody does recognize it, which is so gratifying.
I never had any frustration about writing uncredited. I always felt that the satisfaction of doing it was in the doing of it, really, and getting recognised by the small number of people that know what you did.
When I tell people I played with Giannis they don't remember it as much because I played with him in the first two years of his career, so he was not as flashy.
I was never the star of my team, not even in my small town.
It's kind of always been a secret fantasy of mine, the idea of writing a song and then not having to be the face of it.
Concealed talent brings no reputation.
