Well I do have connections my networking skills are great, but really what my focus now is only on making a name for myself in music. I know how to do it, I helped someone in that area who already had a name get more buzz. I do know how it works how trends affect it all of it. I've seen it, I'm not even a famous person I worked with them. My uncle was married to a famous fashion designer to keep myself confidential he's in the crew of rupaul and kardashian, kanye west, russell simmons, hip hop people and tyra banks you name it.

My uncle lives in LA but he's always out of town working at his job, he was an olympian and his fame gave him status. So I know how it works. It requires a lot of work, I'm just doing small goals. Even if I couldn't do it this way, I'm saving my money and working hard to past the income of most people. I wouldn't have a lot of materialistic things like most people do. I've been raised to make do without. I had a lot of **** happen being poor and working my butt off. I know it sounds silly for me to think that big, but I'm not faultering. I feel to make bigger pushes in life you need bigger goals. I had these goals since forever it isn't even a joke. I know my biggest assets are communication and with my music making product.

I lack somewhat the audience and just the base to spring from at the moment. I needed a car to do shows and worry about putting more work into making music so I can get more recognition. People really like my stuff, it's slowly becoming a solid foundation. I don't have many followers on my social media accounts, but they are true followers they send my stuff everywhere and I get as much listens and noise as people who spam people online. I do think I need to change how I go about my social media. I don't know yet what to do, but I have some ideas.

I work in photoshop really well for album covers, I am trying to learn to build websites and get farther in being self sufficient artist. Where I don't pay a lot of money for other people to help me to start off with that's what I believe would get the attention of bigger labels when I do make enough noise and I sound good enough people want to hear my music and how self reliant I am.

Honestly it's not as hard as people may think, but it requires a lot of work.
I couldn't stress that enough on how much work it is.
