That's kind of like an average IQ person who happens to be a capable mathematician. You don't give them ST or DX based math skills. You just buy up their skill. Which is cheaper anyway. Or in this case, they rely for their success on their abilities as a performer and songwriter even though objectively they are not great singers.
