You could say that. However, the odds increase that you would get a cut if you work hard on your song writing skills, network and make connections, and be persistent in pursuing the dream.

Sometimes, being in the right place at the right time helps, but it's often said that success is a result of preparedness meeting opportunity. So even though you're setting next to someone who can make it happen, you must be prepared and at the skill level needed to avail yourself of that opportunity.
