Part 4/9:
When Schultz completed his demos, he encountered another critical challenge: getting noticed in a music industry that dismissed solo efforts. However, his tapes eventually caught the attention of CBS Records executives who were astounded by the depth and driving energy of his music. They couldn't fathom how one person had managed to achieve such monumental sound in a home studio. Initially, they suggested re-recording the work with a full band in a traditional studio, but Schultz flatly rejected this notion, unwilling to compromise his artistic vision.
