Singer/songwriter Ester Dean recently revealed some of her story as a struggling songwriter looking for direction. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Dean admitted that just three years ago she was struggling to pay her bills. She also revealed that her hit "Drop It Low" was intended for another dance pop diva.
“’Drop It Low,’ honestly, was for Ciara, but she didn’t come get the song," Dean says. "And then Britney [Spears] wanted it. During the demo [Polow] kept telling me, ‘You’ve gotta believe it’ as I was singing it. A week later he asked if I wanted to hear my new single.”
“I’d never leave the studio," Dean continues. "[Polow] would leave to take a shower and I’d have my clothes ready to use the studio shower. He’d go to sleep and I’d work. There are lots of people way more talented than me — but I work more and I wanted it more. I never waited on anyone else.”
“I had so many beliefs against being a singer, or what it takes," she shared. "There was a lot of pain associated with that. The rejection of it all. I lived in a rejection state of mind. Not because of my voice, the mike (mic) never rejected me. It was harboring all those bad memories of being broke. It teaches you your worth. Nothing good comes from that.”
