How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think it has changed it drastically in I'd say about the past 8 years. The younger generation are growing up now expecting to get any music they are looking for for free. So, I've decided myself that any future projects I do will be available for free download. Guys out there can always make money from shows etc. But I'm not in this for money and never have been.. it's all about the music!!!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Who wouldn't???
