...This time with a little bit of luck thrown into the mix.
Scotty James took to the streets, knocking on doors, busking on people's doorsteps, requesting $10 a song to raise money for his first album. In late August, Scotty happened upon another door, a door which belonged to John Ioannou. John Ioannou told Scotty that he ran a music company. Blown away by the performance and his evident hard work, John set Scotty three challenges:
1 - Take Nelly's "Just A Dream", come up with an acoustic Scotty James version of the track.
2 - Serenade girls at colleges and universites (John wanted to see their reaction to Scotty and his music)
3 - Sing to people on the bus
Less than a month after Scotty first knocked on John's door, they met with a producer, and he's now in the studio recording his debut album, funded by John, as he met all of his challenges.
John ends by saying (here comes the cheesy line) "That's proof that opportunity really does knock!"
