"We were pretty much rejected by 99 per cent of the industry. Weren't interested, didn't want a bar of us. And later we proved that there was actually a number one song on that original demo cassette. So these people out there in the industry do miss things. No-one really knows what a hit song is until it's become a hit song. And at that particular point, I remember feeling frustrated about why don't people get this because, without being cocky or even over confident, I was so assured within myself that there was something in this music, but they didn't get it at all. And that's kind of frightening in a sense because there could be many artists out there now sitting on number one songs that the industry is ignoring."
