Love reading your thoughts each issue. On the subject of sell, sell, sell, I agree 100%. One of the biggest barriers that I see for Artists and labels is the lack of understanding how to promote effectively. Many that I have spoken to in recent times just feel that promotion is posting on your socials. There is so much more to it than that.
As an industry veteran since 1985 and having signed and promoted some of the biggest freestyle and dance acts of all time, I can speak on this and look forward to doing so on a new podcast. Hope you'll be a guest on it once it starts this Fall.
Continued success and enjoying what you do. It's appreciated.
John, it's an absolute honor hearing from you. I've known you for a very long time, we use to chat at the WMC back in the 90s. Thank you, and yes, whatever you need, feel free to reach out, and please stay in touch.
Me either... those people definitely have problems. A lot of these artists are affected by negative comments, whether they admit it or not, but I guess it a part of being so-called famous!

Social media is definitely a double-edged sword. I couldn't imagine going out of my way just to tear someone down.

Love the part of the Blast Flash 3.
