June 10, 2009, (Sawf News) - John Mayer not only helped Demi Lovato with the music for her second album - Here We Go Again – he taught her a lot about the business.
"John Mayer's been a huge influence on me. His songwriting really inspires me," Lovato tells MTV News. "You hear music that has the same chord progression, but what he does, he changes it up. There's little things that make him stand out."
In January, talking about her second album, Lovato said, “This time I want to do more John Mayer-ish type of songs. Hopefully I can write with people like him. I love their music - it would be amazing."
Her hopes were fulfilled when Mayer reached out to her over Twitter. Lovato didn’t need much effort to convince Mayer to come on board and help her write her songs.
"I guess he had heard I was a huge fan, and he sent me a letter," she explained. "Then we ended up writing together. And it was really great, 'cause he actually reached out to me, and it was like a dream come true."
Mayer has dabbled with stand up comedy and Demi got to enjoy his sense of humor from up close.
"The process of the collaboration was actually really funny, because he's a really, really funny guy, and he talks a lot, so he'll go off on something. ... I had a great time. He taught me a lot about the business and gave me a lot of advice."
