REALITY CHECK #21......7/28/2012

"Are you really ready for the music business? Is it displaying your God given talent and showing off your craft or the thought of the fame and the having all the lavish things?Now as you sit there to think of this answer, try to think where will this decision take you on a long run or a short run in your career. There's many artists of the past and the present who've settled for the contribution they made to the industry and they only happy that their loyal fans still love them. I feel today I get many, many artists who contact me with the craziest things to say and I think to myself.....are you really ready for the countless days and nights for this career and are they ready for the tremendous hard work and sometimes with little or no pay? So are you really ready for this music business. For the record if you think you can stand alone in the game then you will learn an invaluable lesson about the music industry. As I learned about Hollywood, it'll eat you up and spit you to the curb of Hollywood Boulevard if you not fully prepared for the constant rejection or the industry's political bullshit that comes with the music business so are you really ready for this?? Now as I see the millions of artists here in the United States who want to be entertainers and I think to myself......Are you really ready to sacrifice your duties in your everyday life such as being a parent for this entertainment business and if so, then God bless you and good luck to you cause YOU'RE GONNA NEED IT SERIOUSLY!!!! Now ask yourself are you really ready for this.......REAL TALK!!!
