Let's get it going

One thing I like about these blogs, is that I get to vent out. Even if no one reads them so what, im venting out to myself u feel me? It's theraputic. Anyways, it's February 29th...and now we are finally shopping the demo packages. My Uncle hooked up the packages and they look quite exquisite! We are 1 month behind schedule but I would rather have these looking professional, then just send out junk and be on time. So far I've sent out 2 packages, one to Underdogs and 1 to Blacksmith, the real mass mailings go out next week. We currently are trying to contact these A&R's from various labels getting the OK to send out the packages. All that I can do is just send out the packages to all the labels that allow us to send and pray!

On another note, I finally heard back from Focus and company about my music...Disappointing news. They said that it was not what they were looking for at the time. Just industry talk for F*** you and You suck! Hey whatever, Im used to it by now though. I've been rejected so many times that it doesn't even affect me. After I heard that, I thought to myself for 10 minutes...hit the gym and forget all about it. Gotta keep moving on to the next one you know. Just gotta keep getting better.

I picked up a Jimi Hendirx album and started vibing out to it. Listening to the record forced me to examine myself and my music, I mean here was a guy who cut the record before he was 27 years old and he was a genius already at his craft. So much of a genius that it took almonst 30 years to finally catch up with what he was doing. I examined my flaws and weaknesses as an artist and realized that I need to be more ambitious, I need to be more hungry. I need to start really really grinding if I want to make it. I mean Im not gonna lie, i think I lost a bit of my hunger, I mean I been down in the dirt for so long tryna get on that I think I got discouraged. I just gotta dig down deep and find that hunger again. For some success comes so easy, for me it doesn't. I have to work harder than anyone else to get this.
I moved from South Jersey to be in and around New York - a major hub for music. I been up here for almost 2 years now...and Im asking myself, what have I accomplished?
