First Time Collab Today
Nick has such a soulful voice. Trust me, you'll never be able to guess what he looks like off of his voice. I love that aspect about him. We'll probably capture some video of the recording session. You already know I'll be sharing that with you. Really looking forward to the recording session today. I believe we are going to create something incredible.

Spending Money on Music
As an independent artist, it's frequently difficult to determine where you should spend your money to expand people's awareness of your music. Should it be on recording a new song that might resonate with many? A reputable PR firm that wants thousands a month? A publicist that claims to be connected? A street team to pass out flyers with your info on it? Shit, who knows? Indie artist tend to have limited resources so every penny spent really counts. Many can't just try out some new marketing strategy for a couple grand, because that could mean stopping them from being able to record songs for some time as there just isn't enough money to handle both.
I usually let my spirit guide to me let me know what's the right move. I'm far from one of those artists that would do anything for fame so dropping thousands for a dumb scheme to make me "big" just wouldn't happen. I prefer the real movement, where you gain real Facebook likes, real Twitter followers and real fans coming to your shows. If that's going to take a lot of time then hey let it.
I'm loving the authenticity and speed of my movement right now. In 2012 I'm sure I'll continue to make some strong headway; not because I have some clever plan, but because I'm going to continue to share my art - period. I hope all you other New Breed artists continue to do the same.

Writing for Me So I Can Write for You
That title may seem off, but it's right on key. Too many times us artists prepare songs for "the masses," whatever the fuck that means. We're trying to "blow" of a "hit" record so we create songs with certain topics and beat patterns that aren't even authentic to us in order to "make it." It's funny. And so many will try that and still not "make it" - or if they do they will be caged into some bullshit.
Your man T doesn't follow that program. I write from an important place that is unique to me so that I can feel it. I write for me so that I can write for you with all honesty, both in topic and sound choice.
So if you rock with me, rock with me. If you don't, keep it moving; I won't be offended.
