Question

Jermaine never had any desire to become famous. He liked sitting in his room and making songs using his computer and drum machine, but he never thought anything would come from it. He never even thought of what he was doing as productive. He started making songs because he was bored with video games.
So, he made some songs. He picked the song he liked the best, and used his step mom's digital camera to make a video of his friend Sammy dancing to his song. He put the video on YouTube and promptly forgot about it. The next thing he knew, he had an inbox full of email from people who watched the video. One of those people was a well-known hip-hop producer who wanted to put Jermaine's songs on his record label. Jermaine agreed, but he said he did not want to appear in videos, play concerts, or give interviews. It was an unusual request, but the producer agreed.
Jermaine decided Sammy would appear publicly and perform in videos because he choreographed the dance in the original video. Soon, Sammy was traveling all over the country, filming videos, appearing at shopping malls, and performing on music television channels. Meanwhile, Jermaine sat at home, composing more songs and saving all the money in the bank.
