Words matter. These are the best Ester Dean Quotes, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.
I write by myself and then deliver the song. Everybody knows, ‘Leave Ester alone when she’s in her zone.’ Give me a studio and the tracks, and I’ll call you when the doctor is done.
I’m the only girl songwriter that fights for a lot of things. I fight for songwriting fees, which record labels want you to shut up about.
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.
It’s so funny because if you tweet your lyrics and then you hear it in a song next week, you’re like, ‘Hey I had that same idea.’ I’m very secretive with my music. We have to send emails password protected. Because once that song gets out, you aren’t selling that thing.

I see what other people do and what songwriters don’t. They don’t get out and take care of themselves. Producers turn themselves into a massive brand. Songwriters tend to be under someone else’s umbrella. If you’re building your own legacy, it can’t be under an umbrella.
I always wanted to be a psychiatrist.
If I’m out of town and I’m in a situation where I have to be creative, it has to be hot dogs because that’s my comfort food.
I’m a songwriter who just wants to bring people great songs.
I’ve walked on hot coals with Tony Robbins.
I’m more than a songwriter. I’m a creative person. Some people you just always see. I won’t allow you to see me unless it makes sense. There’s a reason to see me.
