Ok, so after watching the 2015 Grammys I had a bunch of thoughts going on inside my brain. I wanted to kinda write it outta me so I could move forward abundantly rather than feed off the negative energies sometimes brought forth by other individuals on social media and actually at The Grammys themselves. Here’s what thoughts formulated… Yes, I’m 1/2 joking & 1/2 serious. 😉

The Music Industry would do us all justice by creating clear and defined categories, maybe something like this….

1. The Real Deal (Singer, Songwriter, Musician, Producer, Business Person that also perform their songs)

2. The Songwriter (The genius behind all the Performers / Entertainers / Singers you see out there shaking their bling, bling and boobies all around. Yes, I just said bling, bling & boobies. )

3. The Entertainer (Singer / Dancer / Artist that brings a new take / creative spin to the original work created for them.)

4. Producers (Those who add their skill sets to the artist’s / writer’s /musician’s truest vision.)

5. The Egomaniac (The producers and entertainers that take credit from everyone around them when it’s everyone around them that allow them to be the success that they are.)

6. Puppets (Giving EVERYONE that can carry / or not carry a note the right to become “star quality” when they have no “role model” status.)

The future of the music industry will be a place to feed people’s egos (Yea, it does this already but it’s only gonna get worse) to fill industry pockets and empty those True Artists’ pockets DRY. There will be no room for authentic role models. Yup… if the artist (Singer / Songwriter / Musician / Producer) keep accepting that it’s ok to give music away and I admit I’ve been accepting it myself cause I was drinking the coo-lade thinking maybe people would start to want to buy music. Uhhh… it’s not happening!

No matter what, if business takes over music fully, what will remain are “musical beggars” rather than much needed “musical role models”. I am hopeful that this will not happen. I will do my best as an artist to find solutions to get paid for my craft cause if I don’t, the sad truth is there will be lots of songs stuck in a portal waiting to be released. That hurts my heart…

So… There you go… My two cents…
