The Waterboys’ Mike Scott – HuffPost 12.10.12

Mike Ragogna: Mike, what advice do you have for new artists?

Mike Scott: Learn to trust themselves. I wish someone had said to me when I was younger, “You know, you really know yourself and what’s right for you musically. Trust yourself.” I was getting persuaded by other people about how I should do this or that, and really, as a songwriter, I always know what to do musically, so if I could just listen to that little inner musical director… That’s my advice for new artists — trust yourself.
