Why are you making an Album?

Whenever I get a request from new Artists to work on an album, I like to ask them “Why do you want to make this record?”  Last week a young lady I work told me she was working on an album. So I asked her that very question. Her first response was that she has always loved to sing. Now that’s ok, but what I really wanted to know was “what did she plan to gain by making an album”? She thought about it a few seconds then said “that she hoped to be as big as Beyonce or Fergie. She went on to tell me how she thought she sang just as good as any of them and how she wanted to become a successful Artists.
