I’m a firm believer in following your dreams…. As of right now I’m balancing the rigors of school and work, also trying to follow my dreams in the process. I want to invest in a showcase concerts for the next upcoming artist in the triad area and to also tell the public that there is a new promotional business in the area. Here’s the problem…. I have no money for this project…. Nothing at all.

I’ve had a feeling that this was not going to be easy, so I am trying to find any person and any way possible to receive investments for this project. I have already tried an investment website and I was ultimately rejected because my project “didn’t fit with what they are looking for”….. I’m not going to hang my head about it, I’m just going to continue to strive and work more. I am hoping that I can finally run into someone who has the same vision as me. Someone who knows where I can find the funds or even better, have the funds to invest in my project. This project that I am trying to work on is not for me to gain but it is for the artist to gain. I do not want the fame and recognition, I want the artist to have that fame. Not to say that I am not important, but I am just better at working behind the scenes and being successful at that.

Since I received that rejection, I’ve been constantly thinking about what I could do to become better at my proposal…. What can I say, what can I show, what would be a better way for me to display my rewards for the investors and most importantly for the artist.

I’ll keep you updated on my progress cause it seems to me like this will be a long one….

How to make it in America - 3 days Downtown

Well I finally submitted my taxes today and I am getting back a whopping $1800 back!! YEEEESSSSS but now I’m stuck between having the pleasure of going back to NYC for spring break or pumping the breaks on my dreams and staying focused on the task ahead. 1800 is enough for me to get my car fixed and investing my money on either another concert or investing on a trip to NYC….. I’ll weigh my options and whoever reads this will have the pleasure to give me some advice.

I would love to go back to NYC, unfortunately; it is expensive as shit. With traveling cost and hotel, I will be spending almost 1,000 dollars! But I would essentially have the best time of my life. I will be reunited with my friends again, and some of my good friends from NC will tag along with me as well. I can envision going to Central Park and Time Square. Occupying Wall St. and going to downtown Brooklyn. My friends from NC have never been to NYC so I would be the best tour guide ever. Plus I just miss the City so very much… NYC is truly my home and I can not see myself living anywhere else but in the city. But if I do make the decision to go to NY for spring break then that will set back my plans for a concert substantially. For those who have read my last post, I am trying to get together another concert. But that will be extremely hard for me to get together $1,000 to invest. It’s not like I’m getting this from the sky, you know?

So what should I do about this decision? Should I go down the path of pleasure and fun, or should I stay focused on the mission and strive on to a much bigger profit? I need some serious help with this people….. Any suggestions?

This message is for Stacy, Uncle D, and to everyone else that has been asking me why I am making logo’s called “The Artist”, well I’ll be more than happy to explain. Since last year I have been drooling to get on the radio and to promote. Unfortunately; I was not able to do either of those things until December when I had my benefit concert. But this is a new year and definitely a new time for a better opportunity. I’ve been hearing that there is a new radio program at my college that will be accessible to certain students who request it, so I think this will be a perfect opportunity for me to conquer upon. There is also another radio station that I can visit and promote local artist in the Triad area as well, it’s called “Elsewhere” in Greensboro, NC. So once I get the studios ready for my work that is when the real fun starts….

My dream is to be able to find the right talent and promote them to achieve their dreams. Whether it be blogging, radio, video, or concert, every artist should have that moment to shine especially if they have been working really hard to achieve it. The first step to being noticed is to be mentioned… So this promotion is called….. Wait for it….. “THE ARTIST”

This promotion is going to be very unique of course, I’m not trying to copy cat anyone on their game…. I want to be better than that other person. Not only is The Artist a radio promotion for the newbies but it is also a concert showcase for them. The Artist is a singing competition for new, up and coming artist in the Triad area that is trying to make it in the music business. Even though I do not have any connections to anyone in the music business…. Yet…. I am able to give the winner of the competition the next best thing—— $1,000.

That’s right, all jokes aside-the winner of The Artist competition will win $1,000

How would this be possible? Easy I’ll explain

To anyone who has been to a showcase before, we all know that it is very exciting for fans to see new talent out there. The Artist will be able to provide that, in fact the performance will be on point because the performers will actually have something to play for that is meaningful besides promotion. The winner will be chosen by the people in the crowds, so that means that promotion from their behalf will be crucial for them to get the right people on their side…. That’s where the radio promotion comes in. With a website under construction as well, the radio show will be a great way for an artist to get on and talk about their life, what inspires them to perform the type of music that are revealing and why they should be the official “Artist” and win the prize money. If the artist wants to up the promotion a bit more, then he or she will have the option to place a video and pictures on the website as well.

With promotion of the website on my behalf, the fan will go to my website and look up all of the amazing new talent that is in the area. The fan will be eager to go to the concert that will be coming along and also tell their friends to tag along with them. I do not want to get ahead of myself but lets just assume that the concert has a big outcome to it because of the promotion from the performers and from my website of course. We get a pretty big venue for the event and charge people a decent fee to get in and we get a huge turnout from this event. I am looking at a huge return of investment for the event and everybody wins. The Artist gets crowned, gets nice a chunk of cash and a much bigger fan base…. I on the other hand will be able to get my 1,000 back plus an extra 3,000 as well…. ( Just wishful thinking) but it could happen… With the right people of course.

Then POOF mission accomplished…. That’s my plan for this year coming up. I hope I’ve explained it perfectly… Now my question to you is…. Are you the next Artist?
