At the time, Amy (R.I.P.) was with (19 Entertainment) which is Simon Cowell’s group. Working with Amy came from working with Salaam. Salaam has worked with many artists from the UK and was well known to a lot of the record labels. They were developing Amy as an artist and they wanted Salaam to do some songs with her to see what would happen.
She came to Miami to visit and when she was about 18. She came to the studio and walked in with a guitar and a bag. We talked about music and what she liked. She had a bag full of CDs which were mostly old school stuff like (Sarah Vaughn) and Ella Fitzgerald which I thought was great.
