Shela pointed out to me that Haley had been at the Ole songwriting camp recently and then just a few days later we get the news she was in the studio recording a song that was likely written there.
That is certainly good news but it doesn't mean she's taken the bull by the horns. So my advice remains, "Keep Writing."
I feel like I'm learning a little about the music business as I follow Haley.
When I talked with her father a couple weeks ago, he indicated to me that it was her publishing company Ole, that was responsible for getting her songs played in all the stores,and on TV etc. She has to be getting paid for this. And he said "She was doing ok" in the money department, at least for now. Without that publishing deal, things may have turned out a lot different.
And Haley is written up as a "singer, song writer" which broadens her appeal. I want her album to be successful, but she could end up with a hit song on some movie or something which could then cause her album sales to sky rocket. like Adele!! (Am i right??)
Ole and Haley definitely seem like a good fit.
