Chapter 9 - The Debut Album
We were standing in the lobby of Olympic Records, having a good laugh at
the name, when Scott came up to us.
"Mr. Campbell," he said while extending his hand towards my dad. "It's
good to see you again."
"Good morning, Scott," my dad said while taking his hand in a firm grip.
After he had released the handshake he gestured to me. "You remember
Sarah?"
Scott looked down at me (he's quite tall) and smiled, extending his arm
again. "Ms. Carerra, it's nice to see you again. You look exceptionally
good this morning."
I felt myself blushing again while I limply took his hand. 'If I keep
blushing every time someone compliments me, I'm never going to make it
in this industry' I thought. Then again, this blush may have something
to do with the fact that he knew my secret, and not the Sarah Carerra
one.
"If you'll follow me, I'll lead you to the conference room where the
meeting will take place," he said, looking back at my dad. He nodded and
we followed him through the halls of the record company and into a small
conference room.
There were two guys sitting at the table, joking with each other when we
walked in. They stood up when they saw me, and walked around the table
towards where we had entered.
"Ms. Carerra," the older one said. He looked to be in his 50's with
graying hair and wearing a well-tailored suit. "My name is Matt
Thompson. I'm the Director of Talent." He gestured to the other man, in
his late twenties. "This is my son, Max, our lead Marketing agent."
"Pleased to meet you," Max said while extending his hand. I shook it and
then his father's.
"Thank you for this opportunity," I said to them, and their nods seemed
to indicate that it was their privilege to have me here instead of the
other way around.
"The honor is ours," Matt voiced my thoughts before gesturing to the
table. "Please have a seat, this shouldn't take too long."
That statement worried me a bit, but Dad still seemed to be
enthusiastic, so I guess it wasn't surprising to him. We took our seats,
with Matt, Max, and Scott on one side of the table, and my dad and I on
the other side.
"Now," Matt said, "we are extremely honored to have you here with us
today, Ms. Carerra. Can I call you Sarah?"
I nodded.
"Thank you, Sarah," he continued. "We enjoyed your demo CD immensely.
We've been looking for a fresh new face like yours for a while, and we
believe that you've got a long career ahead of you. You received the
contract details, Mr. Campbell?"
"Yes," my dad replied. "We agree with all of the terms listed in
revision 2 of the contract, like we discussed on the phone."
"Excellent," Matt said and removed a stack of papers from a briefcase on
the table. "We'll just need you to sign these contracts and then we can
get started on your new career."
It took us about twenty minutes to sign all of the papers we needed to
sign. I still didn't know the terms of the contract, and was a little
upset that Dad knew without telling me, but I trusted his judgment.
"Now for the fun stuff," Matt said after he had replaced his copies of
the contract back into his briefcase. "We'll break for lunch, but this
afternoon we'd like you to re-record Intuition. We want to get your name
and voice out quickly, and we'll make this your first single and
hopefully have it on the radio by next week."
That stunned me! I didn't think I would be singing quite so quickly, let
alone getting on the radio!
"You've also got a photo shoot at four this afternoon," Max interjected
when his father had finished. "We need to get some publicity photos and
a picture to use as the album art for your single."
"Is that okay with you two?" Matt asked, but it didn't really seem like
a question we could say no to.
My dad nodded while I sat there, stunned! After getting my dad's
approval they all turned to me. "Yes," I told them. "I'm just surprised
it's happening so fast."
"Don't worry, kid," Matt said. It felt a little demeaning to be called a
kid. "You'll do fine."

Scott led us to the building's cafeteria, but told us he wouldn't be
able to join us. We said our goodbyes and walked in to get some food.
There were quite a few people sitting at the many tables, most wearing
business attire. But there were two other people dressed more like me,
and one of them was Daren Stockard! I felt a little shocked to see a
famous singer in here! He wasn't much older than me, 19 I think, but he
already had a couple of platinum albums.
He looked up at us as we entered, and seemed a little intrigued at the
sight, which only worried me more.
We got some food, not bad really, and were talking while we ate at an
empty table. My dad was telling me about the contract details, but I
didn't understand everything he was saying. All I knew was that there
were way more zeros involved than I thought there would be!
Unfortunately, Dad felt that I needed to be fiscally responsible before
I would be able to use my share of the money (even though he's my dad,
he was still getting a percentage for himself). He wasn't going to let
me touch most of it for a while.
When we were nearly finished a shadow fell over the table. Turning
around I saw Daren standing there! I hate to admit I acted like a giggly
fan girl, but I did. I mean, he does have some very good songs.
"Hi," he said to me, and somehow managed to acknowledge my dad at the
same time. "My name's Daren."
When I was able to catch my breath I responded, "Sarah Carerra."
"Sarah Carerra," he said, musing the name over in his mind. "That's a
very lovely name for a very lovely girl."
Dangit! I was blushing again! And in front of Daren Stockard too!
"I haven't seen you around before," he said with a smile. "Where are you
from?"
I looked over at Dad for a second. We'd talked about Sarah's background
story, and it didn't differ much from my own. He looked slightly amused
at this exchange though. I was worried he would be one of those dads who
are too overprotective about his daughters, but he seemed to be calm and
rational. Then again, it could just be for show.
"I'm from L.A.," I told him. Before he had a chance to ask where in L.A.,
I continued, "I just signed with Olympic this morning."
"Well it's nice to have you here," he said like he owned the place. "I'm
sorry I can't talk longer. I have to get back to the studio. I just
wanted to introduce myself."
He smiled at me, causing me to smile back.
"It was nice to meet you, Sarah," he said. "I look forward to hearing
some of your work."
"It was nice to meet you too, Daren," I replied, and with a grin he
turned and headed out of the cafeteria.
"He's too old for you," Dad said moments later.

Dad was leading me down the hall toward the studios. He'd been here with
clients enough times to know where to go, but we weren't certain which
studio we were supposed to be in.
Fortunately the receptionist in the studio lobby was able to point us to
the correct one, mentioning that Mr. Thompson and his son were already
in there.
"Sorry," Dad said when we entered the studio. "We weren't sure which
studio we were meeting you in."
"That's okay," Matt replied while looking at his watch. "You're a little
earlier than we expected you anyway." For some reason I didn't quite
believe him.
Scott was also in the studio. From what my dad was saying he was going
to be our contact with the label. I just hoped working with someone who
knew both of my secrets wouldn't turn out badly.
"Alright, Sarah," Scott said, taking charge. "We've recorded some new
background for Intuition, and we'd like to update the vocals you gave us
for the demo. We were hoping to get some more emotion out of it. Come
listen to this."
He motioned me over to the mixing board and handed me a pair of
headphones. I put them on and waited for the song to start.
I liked what they did to it. They added a little remix to the song that
I thought would make it sound better, and I could clearly hear the new
background vocals. I just hoped I would be able to deliver my part.
"I like it," I voiced my thoughts to Scott when the song had ended.
"Good," he said, but I felt that he was patronizing me, and that my
opinion didn't really matter on how the song was going to sound. That
didn't bode well for the future if I had no say in my own songs. I hoped
it was just because they had already put so much work into this one.
"Matt and Max are here to see how it turns out," Scott said while
showing me into the sound studio proper. "But don't worry. You've
already got the contract."
That made me laugh and worry at the same time. I didn't know if there
were any 'outs' built into the contract. Dad gave me thumbs up from the
control room after I had placed the new set of headphones that Scott had
handed me over my ears. It helped to slow down my speeding heart.
It took me a few tries to get into the groove. I'd only read through the
song for a short period of time last Saturday, and I wasn't remembering
all of the words right away. They were coming back quickly, but I still
felt like I was letting everybody down.
"Sorry," I said after the fourth attempt. "I didn't get to learn the
words very well before the demo Saturday."
"You're doing great," Scott told me. He was manning the mixing board
today, even though it wasn't his regular job. "It's always a little
rough with a new song, but you're getting better every time."
I smiled at his words of encouragement, and went on to deliver a nearly
perfect rendition.
It took us nearly 45 minutes to get it the way Scott, Matt, and Max
wanted it. I'd get one part of the song down and then they would have me
work on another part until they were happy with it and then move on
again. It was more tiring than I thought it would be.
"Great job, Sarah," Scott finally said. "That's a wrap."
I smiled, took off my headphones and headed for the control booth.
"Great job, Sarah," Dad echoed, wrapping me in a hug before the door had
even closed. But it wasn't a regular father/daughter one that I was
starting to get used to. Instead it was a quick chaste congratulatory
hug. I immediately felt sad that I couldn't express my true feelings
with him right then. I was starting to see the downside of the Sarah
Carerra secret.
I got congratulations from Scott and Matt also, and Max managed to
follow in my father's footsteps with a hug. It felt really weird giving
another guy a hug, at least one I wasn't related to.
"Don't forget," he said when he let me go. "You've got a photo shoot at
four. Don has the address and I'll see you there."
I nodded, and the three guys left the control room, leaving me alone
with my dad.
I did get that wonderful father/daughter hug before we left.
