James Newton Howard
American Composer
I try and write a fair amount in the beginning without the movie. And then when I do get the movie I create these demos, just mock-ups, and I throw them up against the picture and some of it sticks and some of it doesn't. But I'm very careful before I play anything to picture, because that's such a profoundly important moment.
Quote examples
Common
American Musician
I learned a long time ago to be honest when I'm talking to other artists. Up-and-coming artists used to come and say something, they would have a demo reel, and I would try to tell them the truth. I don't go up and say something unless I really feel it.
Quote examples
Kurt Vile
American Musician

Quote examples
Jay-Z
American Musician
Around 20. I'd been trying to transition from the streets to the music business, but I would make demos and then quit for six months. And I started to realize that I couldn't be successful until I let the street life go.

Pete Doherty
English Musician

Jim James

J. J. Cale

People said my records were 'funky' and 'muddy,' but the truth is they were just demos.

You do need money to make a good demo; you do need a bit of financial support.
