January 2003

i was here then Atlanta and now i am back. lots of new things are coming your way so let me fill you in on the current update>music: i have taken and put most of my time into music at the moment i am still modeling and acting but all my other free time is going to writing and composing and working on live shows. as far as writing and composing i am doing a musical journal my musical journal will be a bit like my real journal i am taking the same approach to music as i have to the other aspects of my art and so therefore i am composing a piece everyday or every other day. some are classical pieces some are vocal some are idm, but they are all me, all alone writing music. also i found someone to play out live with .joshuagabriel he is the only artist i have meet that is as driven as i am lately as of Monday the 12th we started playing out together we will be working on a show and should be hitting the city within a few days to a few weeks depending on how little sleep i can get by on. we played out at black betty recently and needless to say beside the fact that i have been educated how to rap by the local crew we have i think started a fan base. if you want to know about live show or may want us to come out and entertain in the near further drop me an email. now lets move on, here is my present situation due to the extreme amount of time and energy i am putting into this project as well as the music it is making it difficult to do much else. recently someone from a place called musiclink contacted me, i of course being leery of anyone and anything that tells me they want to help artist ( new concept) i poked had my friends poke and guess what these people really do want to help artist. so now here is the reality, we live in a time were music is almost free, i often work 20 hour days to make what you see here, during that time i am spending money not making money.not saying someday i will but frankly there is a period called development and that is where i am. now  considering the record industry is not spend much is any money on developing artist, and i come from a poor family i am going to bring up the past. we wouldn't have had Beethoven if he wasent sponsored. musiclink is a non profit, it is a system created to direct the fans to the artist direct. no middle man. the concept is we give away are music these days ( do you know 90% of artist are not making money of there cds if so it is usually a dollar)  so now how are we supposed to eat and live and make music, in order to make good music to grow to have time to practice to write to play we need money. not too much just enough to get the needed things like food and clothing , flyers to promote and computers to program., now you see this can be good for the majors as well as the indies. just think if the young starving artist could be helped grow then when they are done they can go to the majors and opposed to asking for more money they can make music and it could save the big boys money as well as us little indie people. if your and artist its free and basically waht happens is when you sign up your in the database. now lets say you are playing out you can put a link on your flyers and promote it at the show. then those fans who love your work opposed to having to pay having to do something can keep it in mind and if and when they want they can donate 5 dollars or 500 dollars to the artist/band they love.so if you like the work anything you can do to support it would be greatly appreciated. also there are other ways you can support it online promotion, word of mouth and or if you happen to have any extra macs around my music computer is amazingly survived this long also if you happen to be in new york and have a ton of free time on your hands i could use some help in some areas email me again and i will explain. if you want to ask further questions regarding music link just email me. i will be adding a ton of new images here on February as well as a huge amout of writing, a massive amount will be going up soon. until then the journal is back and live so check it out, also check out my fanclub there is a message board there if anyone knows another message board system let me know. i want to get one on the site. also if you havent already please join the mailing list when you do tell me about yourself i want to know whos out there on the otherside....

other then that as usual email me if you have any questions or want to hire me or contribute.....also i am adding a links section called dots if you want to be included email me your link take a banner and we can swap traffic. more coming as usual but i have to run at the moment...........
