Synopsis: We are a music collective made up of over 30 artists in many countries. We have worked in a variety of studios to make music for fans and mostly independent film-makers. We are fast becoming known for our ability to deliver affordable competitive tracks that pay tribute to our favorite artists while maintaining original lyrics from several accomplished and rising student artists.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Smooth like a cactai that pricks you…makes you a bit excited and teaches you some lessons.

The hardest part for me was hearing about a few young artists dying due to their own mistakes with alcohol or drugs.

I quit venues that seemed more interested is selling poison than the arts.

I especially detest narcissistic behavior commonly found in the arts and dealt with many jerks that were disappointed with the business realities or stage direction.

There is a known phenomenon that promoters get a bad reputation if you survive in the business. Most don’t.

My decision to get more narrowly focused as a label has helped quiet the noise…

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I make and sell songs, produce live events, publish visual art and non-fiction literature.

Alright so before we go can you talk to us a bit about how people can work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
The best support would be to look into us and become a fan.

I’m always down to review talent that have access to studio-quality recording set ups that can work with or instrumentally support poetry that I provide. Sometimes we can pay, but sometimes the contracts backend payment only and contingent on commercial success on the album the songs land on.

We also have 1099 contracts for business types.

We need high roller sponsors and offer great benefits to sponsors, including the sponsorship being listed as a business expense. We send art and CDs well over the value of the sponsorships we get so it’s a good deal.
