I get into a little bit of everything. Jacks of All Trades.
Why this name?
It is an abbreviation of my real name that my grandfather called me.
Do you play live?
Not yet.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
To a certain extent i I think it hinders Artist and in another helps us. It gives an artist a certain amount of exposure and at the same time it can hurt actual sales because of bootleggers. Its also the good for the fans who do not have the time to run in stores everytime an artist release a CD. To be honest I kind of understand the situation of bootleggers sometimes for instance there is one track on the the entire CD that is hot. Lol. I would not pay $15 for the CD. I am nuetral in this area.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I am not to sure now a days. For a Major Label it would probably be better for publishing, marketing and distribution purposes but with Indies you get more of your profit but hard to get global exposure as if you were to sign with a major. I am planning to create a Label then expand like Sony or something like that. Until I actually get the money that I need to do my own business I am for whatever.
