Yo yo, just a quicky… NOT ~

After a zillion emails I’m here to answer your questions in
bulk about how the hell we got here so fast.



OK

No.1  Write good trax with shitloads of merit... Even if you cant get
em down the way your hearing them in your head on CD, keep writing, keep
recording and sooner or later your gona find three trax that stand out and
that’s when you start your 1st real move...



No.2  Cut back on ya day job hours, go
hungry Lol. and spend that money and time, recording those trax the bestest you
can then  & then posting those CD’s everywhere you can see they may be
developed into what your dreaming about.



No.3 Don’t wait around for the reply’s ~ They come in about a year later when
you’ve almost given up on getting any help. Ahahaaaa AND you’ve got another 3
stand out trax recorded because you kept moving forward :)

.. ......

No.5  Hit radio with
them.. make sure you spend a couple of bux getting them mastered for radio and
then proudly phone the station and ask how they like their new submissions
submitted and then follow their direction to the letter.  (*............Be prepared to cringe a bit down the track, when
your work gets better but your old stuff is still cranking on the radio)
heheeee


............

No.5 Nurture your support network. Once the emails come in
saying ‘lets get this happening etc’ your close to the $$  But you wont have any.. ahahaa…  Its then that you realize that without your
support network, you’d be F#&ked… Your house would be mortgaged and you’d
be up to the eyeballs in debt trying to do it on your own.


..

So in answer to your questins: How the hell did we come up with what we have in such a short time??


......

I counted the other day how much it would have cost us out
of our own pocket to have around 

  • CD
    Production


  • 17
    international remixes crankin around the world of the highest production
    standards & from some massive names in the industry,
  • A
    music video almost ready to release,
  • Venue
    hire/make up artists/cast/ crew/post production
  • Umpteen
    photo shoots,


  • Website
  • Mentors


..

You guyz DON’T WANA KNOW…  But its around $200grand easy!!
