The first song Jessie Kay and I ever wrote together ended up placed on America's Got Talent — with Simon
Cowell saying he loved it. She's also one of the most pitch-accurate vocalists I've ever worked with, and a
full-time worship leader. This episode is about the craft, the business, and the honesty most artists never hear
out loud.

On this episode of Cue The Q Podcast, Jessie Kay and I talk through our creative process together, what it
was really like having our first-ever co-written song land on America's Got Talent, the honest reality of sync
placement money, autotune and pitch correction, and what it means to stay true to who you are as an artist —
even when the music you make for a living isn't the music closest to your heart.

IN THIS EPISODE:
• Our creative process — how a song actually comes together between us
• “Here Goes Nothing” — the first song we ever wrote, and how it landed on America's Got Talent
• Simon Cowell and Gabrielle Union reacting to the song on the show
• The honest truth about sync placement money — what a real royalty check looks like
• Jessie's take on autotune, pitch correction, and why she'd rather stay real
• Being a full-time worship leader while writing secular music for a living
• Why she'd rather write and sing background than be the artist in the spotlight
• Staying true to your own sound instead of chasing what's expected of you
