So where am I at. What’s really going on right now? Even though I’ve thrown a few shows and went through the experience as an artist. It’s still not getting me paid. I don’t have enough value to be accepted at a professional level. I have all the experience but no online numbers to truly show. So now it seems like it’s about getting the music online to be heard and bring me into the next level with marketing and promoting my better releases. Events don’t really mean anything. I can do them, but for the most part they don’t do much. Chipping away and building is cool, but it’s not going to put me on that next tier level. That level that gets me on tv. That level that gets me on Spotify curated playlists. That level that gets me on shows and tours with people like Logic and Jon Bellion. People like to see people that have an actual fan base. That’s what I’m striving for. Am I giving time to the wrong areas? I don’t believe so. I think I’m doing the right thing. But I also think I might have to be alone to do it. I can promote everything for the rest of the year, but then where am I still? At home living a life that’s comfortable. If I keep building my catalog. Save a certain amount of money. Maybe I should move to another area and relocate and find new people to grow with? Still have my friends at home. Still have my music and story. But keep building in another area for a while. Maybe a year to test it out? Why not go to NYC. Why not go to LA? What would be the goal. Now it’s time to exercise my connections more. Nino has been a help for sure. But it still shows that I have to do all the work. Performing. Running ads. Choosing what events to do. Maybe I have to find more of my own stuff? How can I do that? Clearly people like Finding Joy are not the answer for me. The HUBB has been a good place for me to make an impact. But it’s not a place for me to go to and expect my career to go to the next level. Am I serious enough right now? Do I feel like I’m in the right place to take that leap? Am I scared? Im sure I’m doing the right thing. But what’s next. I want to meet more creative people. I can see myself really doing bigger things with more motivated people. People that want to act now. I also think being on another scene will bring more interest to my life. That I’ll be in another place but be forced to put myself out in this world. Like it’s a make or break to test my character. I’ve already done so much where I’m from. I even went and did a show in NYC. But I have to keep building my own self. My own brand. Maybe find more people for when I’m back in NJ. More people so I can keep growing. 25-30 might be for changing places. Save up 9000 and then see where I’m at in the NY area.
