Embrace Every Opportunity
Bolton’s journey to success in the music business took him 18 years. Despite facing numerous setbacks and failed attempts, his unwavering passion for music and songwriting fueled his determination to persevere.
At the age of 16, Bolton was offered a record deal by Epic Records in New York, an exciting and surreal opportunity for a young artist. However, after a year of recording two singles that didn’t become hits, he was dropped from the label. He then signed a two-album deal with RCA, which also ended in failure. Bolton found himself in a desperate financial situation, with his rent checks bouncing.

Despite witnessing other talented artists in similar situations fail, Bolton chose to view his previous record deals as a testament to his potential. He focused on his songwriting career, finding success when his compositions were recorded by renowned artists like Cher, Barbra Streisand, and Laura Branigan. One of his songs, “How Am I Supposed To Live Without You,” became a hit in 1983 when Branigan recorded it. In 1990, Bolton recorded his own version of the song, which topped the charts for six weeks.
