Why this name?
STACATO IS A FORM OF MUSIC THAT REPRESENTS A DIVERSE AND UNIQUE STYLE. D STACATO HAS ALWAYS BEEN SATUATED IN MUSIC SINCE THE AGE OF 10. STACATO PLAYS THE BASS GUITAR, STANDUP BASS, VIOLIN, DRUMS AND HAS GHOST WRITTEN FOR MANY ARTIST AS WELL. GROWING UP ON STRONG ISLAND ENABLED D STACATO TO BE AROUND A MIX CULTURE OF PEOPLE. MANY OF HIS BLACK AND ITALIAN ASSOCIATES NOTICED THAT D STACATO IS A LOYAL AND OFFICIAL MAN THAT REPRESENTS MUSIC TO THE FULLEST. D STACATO WAS THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE HIS PERSONA.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
WE NOW LIVE IN THE COMPUTER AGE WHERE NETWORKING WITH INDUSTRY INSIDERS AND MUSIC LISTENERS IS VERY EASILY ACCESSABLE. WITH RECORD SALES BEING DOWN BY 40% IN THE LAST YEAR, IT ENABLES OTHER AVENUES AND OUTLETS TO BECOME A VIABLE SOURCE IN PROMOTING AND MARKETING MUSIC. NOW THAT DOWNLOADING AND RINGTONES HAVE BECOME A MAJOR IMPACT WITHIN THE GAME, IT DEFINATLEY CHANGES THE STRUCTURE OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
DEFINATLEY! MY FIRST SINGLE "SWAG BY DA BAG" HAS BEEN GAINING GREAT SPINS AND RECOGNITION IN MANY MAJOR MARKETS SUCH AS, NY, DENVER, LA, DC, B'MORE, ATLANTA, AND THE CAROLINAS. AS LONG AS THE VISION OF MY PROJECT IS MUTUAL WE CAN DEFINATELY DO BUSINESS!!! ONLY SIGN DEALS IF THE MATH IS REAL!!!
