Cake’s John McCrea – HuffPost 12.9.10

Mike Ragogna: Excellent, beautifully said. Do you have any advice for new artists?

John McCrea: Well, I’m not sure where things are headed with the music business. I do think it’s exciting that you can take your own career into your own hands. I think the most important thing to focus on is write a good collection of songs and record them into an album or however you want to do it, but just get yourself a bunch of really good songs and figure out how to record and produce them. I really think that’s more important than waiting for somebody else to come lift you up and make you into a star.
