STEP BY STEP........

LIFE IS WHAT WE LIVE EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE RATHER SAY MUSIC IS LIFE BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT ISNT THE TRUTH ..MUSIC IS A PART OF LIFE...I RUN INTO INDIE ARTIST ALL THE TIME THAT HAVE SO MANY PROBLEMS BUT WANT TO RECORD AND PURSUE A CAREER IN MUSIC. YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR LIFE IN ORDER TO MAKE A DREAM HAPPEN OR IT WONT HAPPEN RIGHT. I HAVE BEEN IN THE SAME BOAT TO WHERE I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS IN MY LIFE PERSONALLY AND I WASNT ABLE TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN BUSINESS WISE BUT I MADE DECISION TO CLEAN UP MY LIFESTYLE SO I CAN MAKE BUSIENSS HAPPEN CAUSE I KNEW I HAD SOMETHING INSIDE ME THAT WAS THE "REAL DEAL" AND THAT I COULD HELP CHANGE A PERSONS LIFE IF THEY ALLOW ME TO.

2 WEEKS AGO I GOT A RANDOM CALL FROM A FEMALE RAPPER AND SHE SAYED SHE ENJOYED ONE OF MY CLIENTS MUSIC AND WAS WANTING ME TO MEET HER SO SHE CAN GIVE ME A HER DEMO....SO I MET UP WIT HER WITHIN THE HOUR AND GOTG IT AND LISTENDE AND I DID HEAR A LIL TALENT THERE BUT I ALSO HEAR A PAIN IN HER VOICE THAT CASUE MY ATTENTION AND I KNEW IT JUS WASNT THE MUSIC..SO I CALLED HERE AFTER I LISTENED TO HER MUSIC AND ASKED HER " WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO WITH YOUR MUSIC ?" AND SHE SAYED SHE DIDNT KNW... AND IT SHOCKED ME WHEN I HEAR THAT AND MADE ME THINK " HAVE ANY ARTIST EVER TOLD ME THAT BEFORE?" AND I DID ANSWER MYSELF..LOL..AND SAYED NOPE!.SO I ASKED HER WHAT WAS HER SITUATION AND SHE TOLD ME THIS LONG DRAWN OUT STORY ABOUT THIS INDIE LABEL SHE WAS AFFILIATED WITH AND TO FIND OUT THAT SHE HAD JUS GOT OUT OF JAIL AN CURRENTLY ON PROBATION. SHE WANTED TO DO THE TYPICAL MIXTAPE BUT SHE SAYED SHE HAD NO MONEY TO PUT INTO A PROJECT BECAUSE OF HER PROBATION FEES...AND THEN SHE ADMITED THAT SHE WANTED TO SKIP OUT ON PROBATION SO SHE COULD DO HER PROJECT ( AND SHE WAS ON 11 MO 29 DAYS PROBATION) I WAS SHOCKED THAT SHE SAYED THAT...BUT SHE WAS DEAD SERIOUS BUT I HAD TO BE REAL WITH HERE AND WE TALKED............NOW SHE IS OUT GRINDING WITH MY ONE OF MY CLIENTS AND LEARNING THE GAME FOR WHEN HER PROJECT IS OUT SHE WILL HAVE AN IDEA OF HOW TO GRIND HER MUSIC.

SEE SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR GOALS ON HOLD AND WATCH AND LEARN AN AVENUE THAT CAN GET YOU THERE FASTER THAN THE WAY YOU WERE MOVING AT FIRST. WE ALL LEARN ON DIFFERENT LEVEL AND IN MUSIC THERE ARE SO MANY AVENUES TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN OTHER THAN BEING AN ARTIST...AND I THINK THEY MAY BE THE NEXT TOPIC.
