Hey everyone! Ive never written a blog before, lets see how this works..!!
Lifes been crazy.. I just finished our latest album- Love Screams War, so Ill have more time to spend here. This album was recently mastered by George Marino; for those of you who dont know of George, he mastered Led Zepplin, Stevie Wonder & John Lennon, just to name a few. What a cool cat!! Totally not what I expected!! He is definitely all about the music!!
I think my mixes threw him off in the beginning though!! Haha. When people start using the word unorthodox, you know theyve just seen the loop. LSW was recorded in 4 different locations and in four different formats. Unorthodox maybe, but it sure fell together nicely!! ;) So the question is: Can an artist who dose not go the route of signing with a record company succeed? Correction: A Broke Ass Musician!! If so, for how long?!
Let me tell you all a bit about the music industry, if you dont already know..The major record companies have all the pull which means, they believe without their connection and all the investment, there is NO WAY any musician can make it big!! Well. I can tell you this, Ill hold out as long as possible!! Call me stubborn for not taking the sweet deals offered by major record labels; Im not much on the front. I like to keep things real! When artists are signed to majors, they basically have no say to ANYTHING, especially when they are new!! Im not interested in being any ones puppet! Would you make a different decision if you were me though?
