Taio Cruz chats to I Like Music
TAIO: Yeah that was at the beginning when I got my first manager. There was a girl I knew from college who would always ask me to give her tapes to listen to at home and her flat mate was dating a guy from Def Jam and he called and my music was playing in the background. And he asked who it was and she said, 'it's my friend's best mate who makes music,' so he asked if I was signed and she said 'no', so he said I should give him a call. So I called him and went out there and we started working together, and that was how I met my first manager.
ILM: You've followed your dreams. What advice would you give to young people on following their dreams to get the career they want for themselves?
TAIO: If they know that they are talented and worth what they think they are… sometimes you get friends who tell you you're good to be polite, but if you really are good and strangers tell you that you're good at what you do and that's your dream, then you shouldn't really have a plan B. You should just go for it, because the plan B is usually easier than having the dream, so people often settle for the plan B, so don't give yourself a safety net otherwise that's what you'll end up doing.
