The album didn't get made.

I used up all my money in two years, so I got dropped.

Welcome back to the second series of Big Fish with me, Spencer Matthews.

Each week I sit down with inspirational people to find out their mindset,

what success means to them and what separates them from the rest.

Chelsea Grimes is a Grammy-nom nominated songwriter and footballer.

She's written songs for Kylie Minogue, Dua Leeper, Olly Mears and the Saturdays.

Chelsea began playing football at the age of 10 and went on to play professionally,

but at 16, she decided to pursue a music career and signed an album deal at just 18.

After getting dropped from her label and money running out,

she got signed as a songwriter and now travels the world working with some of the biggest stars in the game.

Chelsea is seriously impressive.

She's someone that just seems to excel at everything that she puts her mind to.

I know that you'll take tons away from this conversation,

Yeah.

How did that come about?
