But she never uttered a word to him about it. After graduating from Nashvilles Belmont University, Roberts took a job at Mercury Records to support herself while pursuing her goal of becoming a country singer. Unbeknownst to her co-workers, she spent her free time honing her songwriting skills and performing at various Music City clubs. She spent her days as the assistant to Luke Lewis, Chairman of Universal Music Group Nashville, and her nights as a protégé of renowned producer Brent Rowan. She was always careful the two worlds never collided. But as Roberts learned, you cant keep e a secret for long. In 2003, Rowan met with Lewis to play some new songs from several artists in whom Lewis had expressed an interest. At the end of the session, Rowan played a few demos he had recorded with Roberts. Lewis said, "I want to know who this is. I want to meet this girl." Rowan said, "Its the girl right down the hall. Its your assistant." So after an often-difficult journey that spanned several states and many years, Roberts was able to take those seemingly insurable final steps from her assistant desk to Lewis' office to ink a record deal that would turn her fantasy into an immediate reality. (And yes, she quit her day job in August 2003.) Roberts' first single "Break Down Here" debuted at No. 1 on the country singles chart. See more ( javascript:void(0) )
