Jonathan Haselden was desperate to get his music noticed, so he decided to try selling lines from his track Roller-Coaster on the internet auction site.
But when the 25-year-old posted the auction for the lyric: “And when you’re lost, you’ll always be found” for a starting price of 6p, it sparked a frenzied bidding war. The mystery buyer who paid £11,100 ($20,865 USD) is believed to come from the United States.
Haselden, from Wimbledon, said: “I am over the moon. I never thought this was going to happen and this is just great. It gives me more chance of getting a record deal and puts me and my music out there.”
