All who you know

The music world is a business. If you want your music to reach a wide audience, you have to know the right people. (ALL who you know, I am afraid.) But, what happens when you don't know the king pins and you know you have songs worth listening to? Frustration steps in and kicks your butte, both left and right cheeks. That's when you have to be truly passionate and love what you do.

It scares me to think where music is going? Will I Am made a comment the other day; that in four years time, he doesn't think cd's will be sold anymore. That got me thinking, especially as I am a songwriter........ So, the race to get hits online will be on..... That means, artists are going to have to shock people and do crazier things than other artists to get the views and purchases online..... It is going to be graphics and boom boom boom that wins the day..... and for the songwriters and artists who are not prepared to wear nothing but a cloth hiding their strategics, and singing about unrefined things and dancing sexually in music videos (some music vids are close to porn), it's finding the live venues; places where people still appreciate music with soul; cause I don't think these artists are going to be able to compete in the fast-paced-graphic-sex sells-shock me now so I will check out your vibe- sells; online-world.

Will - I - Am scared me with his statement.
