"Taking a song and bringing it to life in a professional recording studio can be an intimidating process at first; I know it certainly was for me. So to be able to offer support and guidance to an emerging singer-songwriter is a huge honor. I look forward to playing a role in such an exciting time of someone's songwriting career." -Colbie Caillat

"My experience working on Guitar Center's Singer-Songwriter last year was a hugely positive one. The amount of uniquely talented musicians that were unearthed in the submissions was just so impressive, I can't wait to discover more this time around. And that's why programs like this are so important for the future of music; they give burgeoning talent a chance to shine." -Don Was
