Promise you." John Legend was the last artist I tried to sign back when he was John Stephens. I scheduled an audition for him with L.A., and he was really excited. We even booked a concert space two days before so that he could rehearse with his band, and then L.A. told me he didn't wanna go, and he told his senior staff not to go. He passed on him. He just passed. So I walked in all alone and watched John perform with his band in the folding chairs. I was the only one there. I had to tell John, "I can't sign you. I'm so sorry."

Promise you."
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:05.792
John Legend was the last
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:05.792
artist I tried to sign
00:00:05.875 --> 00:00:07.075
back when he was
00:00:05.875 --> 00:00:07.075
John Stephens.
00:00:07.833 --> 00:00:10.375
I scheduled an audition
00:00:07.833 --> 00:00:10.375
for him with L.A.,
00:00:10.458 --> 00:00:12.917
and he was really excited.
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:16.000
We even booked a concert space
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:16.000
two days before
00:00:16.998 --> 00:00:19.458
so that he could rehearse
00:00:16.998 --> 00:00:19.458
with his band,
00:00:19.542 --> 00:00:22.708
and then L.A. told me
00:00:19.542 --> 00:00:22.708
he didn't wanna go,
00:00:22.792 --> 00:00:25.667
and he told his senior staff
00:00:22.792 --> 00:00:25.667
not to go.
00:00:25.075 --> 00:00:27.208
He passed on him.
00:00:27.292 --> 00:00:28.708
He just passed.
00:00:28.792 --> 00:00:31.333
So I walked in all alone
00:00:28.792 --> 00:00:31.333
and watched John perform
00:00:31.417 --> 00:00:33.917
with his band
00:00:31.417 --> 00:00:33.917
in the folding chairs.
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:36.917
I was the only one there.
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.025
I had to tell John,
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.025
"I can't sign you.
00:00:39.333 --> 00:00:41.998
