halseymedia: We got [Ghost] out really quickly, and I wasn’t in bands, I didn’t have any representation, and I had no interest in being a singer. It was just a cool song and I had some friends who were like, “If you put this up and it gets popular, you can make a quick thousand bucks.” After I put “Ghost” up online, that night I was heard by five record companies. I called my friend Anthony and I said, “Holy shit I’m freaking out, can you come to the city and pretend to be my manager?” He was like, “Yeah I can pretend to be your manager!” That was the moment for me, sitting on this couch and having people say, “You have a gift for this.” That’s when all the pieces of the puzzle came together and it dawned on me that it wasn’t about making $1,000; it was about what I was supposed to do. I had 24 hours to decide and the decision was very easy to make. From that day on I’ve been an artist. I didn’t have to become one, I just needed someone to show me the signs. -- source link
