Irving Berlin
In 1907 Irving received 33 cents for his first song, “Marie from Sunny Italy”. Despite only playing piano in the key of F-sharp and not being able to read sheet music he went on to become one of America’s most prolific songwriters. It is said his ritual was to write a complete song with words and music every day.
