Cody Simpson grateful for debut album critique from John Mayer
Australian pop star Cody Simpson is grateful to singer John Mayer for taking the time to critique his first album after a chance meeting at a restaurant.
The 18 year old is a huge fan of the Daughters hitmaker and has even yielded comparisons to Mayer - so he knew he had to approach the singer when he ran into him at a restaurant just before the release of his debut album in 2012.
He says, "I'm pretty sure he was on a date and I went up to him and
interrupted his date and I was like, 'Bro I'm about to release my
first independent album. Please let me send it to you and please
tell me what you think. Give me any advice.'
"He was nice enough to send back a long a** email with all this
advice, little tips... All this stuff that I had never thought of
before, so it was sick (great) just to be able to interact with
someone like that who's obviously established himself..."
