Here’s what no one’s going to tell you about a record deal.
No hype, no lies, just deal:

Remember: tortoise and hare race didn’t have drone - you do. 🤟😅

I’m 68 years old with low test. Here’s something I wish someone told me about the music grind…
It’s not about inspiration, it’s about INSTIGATION.
Read that again.
It’s not about inspiring. It’s about instigating a singularity with your audience, a cosmic event then makes them realise they’re in the presence of something great and their life is about to be changed:
Want to make a difference? Dress up, use reverb, don’t say or do anything. No music, no inspiration, just vibes.
Also, rim local professionals.
DM me “Aesthetics” for my 2k26 prediction chart.
