Interview with WAYNE HECTOR, songwriter for Susan Boyle, Pussycat Dolls, Westlife - Feb 1, 2010

“I came up with a couple of lines for the first verse and then phoned my mama’s house, left it on the answering machine, and said, ‘Don’t get rid of this!’”

picture With over thirty international number ones under his belt and a discography that includes artists as varied as Pussycat Dolls (UK & GER No.1, USA Top 3), Susan Boyle (USA & UK No.1), Def Leppard (USA & UK No.1), Donna Summer (USA & UK No.1), Il Divo (USA & UK No.1) and Rascal Flatts (USA No.1), songwriter Wayne Hector is clearly a master in the art of writing songs that hit a chord across the board.
