Paris Hilton’s Grand Scheme
Despite the ditzy image that Paris Hilton portrays in the public eye, I still believe that she has a very shrewd mind and it doesn’t hurt that she has the confidence of only those that lived an entitled life can afford.
New York Daily News observes her mood on the release of her music album as….
blase.
Paris said:
“I’ve been singing and playing piano since I’m 6 years old,” she reports, as if the world should know this by now. “This is something I’m really good at. I can really sing. [So] whatever people believe, I don’t really think about it.”
Hilton says she performed in the school orchestra and the choir growing up. But as a kid, performing for a broader audience wasn’t something she could imagine. She began to gain confidence after she had success in everything from commercial endorsements to pushing perfume. For quite some time she had been performing “random karaoke” in clubs. “Producers would hear me sing ‘Bette Davis Eyes’ and say, ‘You should make a record,’” she says. “For years and years, I’ve had producers approach me.”
Once Hilton finally relented and recorded some demos, she reports, “[the labels] all just wanted me.”
She signed with Warner Bros. because she trusted that executive Tom Whalley had her best interests at heart. She says it never occurred to her that the label might have more interest in her name recognition than her talents.
“I’ve been with them for almost two years and they easily could have just cranked something out and not tried to make it good,” she answers.
First, the company paired her with rock producer Rob Cavallo. But after recording half a dozen songs, Hilton met superhot, urban-oriented producer Scott Storch. Then things really clicked. “With Storch in the studio I started writing my own material,” she says. (Reality check: Hilton was actually contributing to work co-created with others.) “They could not get me out of the studio. For the first time, I turned off my Blackberry and actually concentrated.”
Wow, she really is confident!
