Megan Trainor gives career advice and spills about her success in Hollywood at the ASCAP Music Expo

I got to see Megan Trainor speak at the ASCAP music expo on Friday and she dropped some serious knowledge on the crowd of music industry hopefuls plus talked about her inspiration for her latest single!


She talked about her first hit song "All about that Bass" citing it as the song that changed her life and brought her from a writer behind the scenes to an artist front and center.

She said, "I had the song, you might have yours your number one smash right now in your pocket and you have no idea. That's the scariest part about this job. But also the most rewarding...I remember bass I wrote that being like, no one is ever going to sing this but, screw it let;'s write it anyways...I remember thinking I didn't look the part you know I would never be a Rihanna or a Britney Spears or whatever. So I said I'm gonna just be the cool songwriter the superhero of the world lay low for a minute and then I'll be a star later. But the song will take you, if you have the song it will take you to all your dreams."
She told the audience, "If you're a songwriter and your song takes off my best advice is to just follow it."
