Taio Cruz chats to I Like Music
I was actually shopping for trainers and I got a call from New York and it was president of Motown, and he said, 'What are you doing tomorrow, can you fly to New York?' And I said I was in the studio but I'm sure I could postpone it for a day.
So I flew in and after about ten minutes they said, 'I'm not going to beat around the bush, I just want to give you a record deal, we love your songs and your music, we've heard about you before, we know you're producing, so we just want to give you a record deal.' Then after that I got signed to Island in the UK.
ILM: Wow, I'm bet you're glad you took that call while you were shoe shopping!
TAIO: Yeah, totally!
ILM: Also I heard that a girl was playing your songs and her boyfriend, who worked for Def Jam heard the tracks and was blown away and that was another cool experience for you to get heard?
