Hello Judith
I'm not sure if you're aware of it quite yet, but you're standing on the sea of greatness! Believe it.
If I may, just one word of caution though. Back when MJ's, "Thriller" and "Off the Wall" were on top of the charts for seemingly a generation, the music industry was much different. The focus then was on longevity. The thought was, the longer an artist could sustain his/her career, the more lucrative for everyone. Gradually, and for a variety of reasons, the focus began to shift. Instead of supporting one artist for as long as they could, a belief that it's more beneficial to recruit and "push through" a larger quantity of artist began to evolve.
And so today we see many artist, some very talented, and some not so talented, caught up in the waves of artist that roll in with the tide, and then out again. If they're lucky, they may tread water long enough to land a reality show.
You Judith, are one with overflowing talent. Talent that can become a tidal wave for the entire industry, one that can return a meandering industry to one that values superior talent, and long-lived careers.
I'm certain that many are approaching you now with promises of grandeur, and encouraging you to take advantage of the opportunity that now presents itself. They are correct, when opportunity come ashore, you have to ride it. Now is precisely the time that you've prepared yourself for. Just remember that there are an infinite number of waves that will continue to roll in. Don't rush yourself on the first one, to the point that you loose your focus and wash out.Trust your judgment. Only one person can keep you afloat, only one person can insure that you're in the right position for the next wave. That person is you, Judith Hill. If you start to feel rushed or like you're being encouraged to compromise your musical philosophy, take a step back, and stay true...to you.
Your association with MJ has brought the sands of good fortune to you, but it is only your talent and pursuit of "Judith's" music that will keep them from slipping through your grasp.
I look forward to the tidal wave that is Judith Hill.
