The Single Place That Prince Looked For True Talent

Sas Metcalfe is the President, Global Creative, of Kobalt Music and has been at the company since it was founded in 2001. It was in that capacity that she spent time with Prince.

"I spent an afternoon with Prince at Paisley Park several years ago," Metcalfe told Billboard.

"We put out a couple of singles on his label. He was exactly like I thought he would be: very nice, very funny."

"One thing he kept ­saying was, "It's all in the eyes. Always look in the eyes of singers to see the passion."
