What's up everyone!
Just so y'all know, I've haven't blogged since the the beginning of this month, but it's for many reasons. I've been very very very busy!!!! I've been on grind mode. I wasn't gonna blog until I had some exciting things to let you guys in on. I don't even no if anybody has been reading any of my blogs cause I don't see any comments. But then again, I look at some peoples blogs on here that are way more popular than me right now and they don't have comments from people most of the time. So it's no way for me to tell if anybody is reading. But it's all good, it's still an accurate account of what I'm going through and my grind. I won't mind lookin back on this the future and saying, "Damn, I was going through that shit! I overcame it though!!!!" I can't wait for those moments...
Since my last blog I have made some measurable amount of progress. I have just signed to BMI (Broadcasting Music Incorperated) so that they can handle the publishing of my music for the next 3 years. For those not familiar with them, the are a company that ensures that I get paid royalties($) from anyone that uses my original songs and music on radio, tv, albums, ect. They police the industry for people using any music that I have registered with them, and makes them pay for using my work in any media outlet and in turn they get a piece of those profits which is how they stay in business. A musician I play with in the choir band I'm in has been using them for years and he's happy for them. I knew I would eventually have to do that to get paid for my work in the long run and to establish longevity in the game. I'm real close to doing an album for the Humane Society!! The album will be another solo effort from me but each song will be written to help spread the message about the different programs the Humane Society advocates for and to let people know the importance of all God's creatures great and small. I've had this idea for awhile now but finally mustered up the courage to pitch the idea to the Humane Society. I didn't think they would call me back but they did!!! So now I'm just waiting to hear from the head of Business Promotions for the organization and I'll be able to give you more guys details from there! I've decided to give all the proceeds to the organization to benefit the animals! Can't wait to get started on it!! As for my other projects, my first solo album is still a working progress. I have completed some songs and have been sending the final versions to my man Jared Fite aka Thunderbird Juicebox (check him out!!) to do all the mastering. Everything is coming along fine!! I'm going to bang out more songs this weekend! Got the words and beats ready to go!! As soon as I get back the mastered versions from Jared I will post them here as well as other sites on the web!
I've been coming into contact with alot of my favorite artist on Twitter and have begun forming relationships with them. Can't wait to see what oppurtunities this yields!!! I'm very excited though! So as you can see, I've been a very busy guy but still so much to do. The grind never stops!
On a personal level, I'm still searching for the next spot I'm gonna live but haven't been having much luck. The first apartment I applied for I didn't get approved. I'm pretty sure it was because of my messed up credit! I'm getting that together though, but its a process. In the meantime, this really gets my spirits down at times. My friends tell me it will get better and not to stress. But most of them has never been homeless before and on the streets like I was, so its hard for them to really know whats on my mind and why I'm so worried. Ive been there before and I dont want to go back. I don't know what I will do if I ended up in that situation again. I have some time but don't have much. I got to September, so I gotta just continue to grind. I'll find something though, even if I have to suck it up and live or roommate with someone else, even though I don't want to. I just want to be by myself. I will keep y'all posted as usual on everythang. Other than that everything is looking up!! Gotta keep pushin.
Well that's about it for now untill the next time, y'all be cool and be safe out there in world. Peace out!!!
