It's crazy. As an artist, you have to keep up a certain image whether you have the means or not. People have no clue how hard it is to be creative, pay bills and continue to make art with your gift on $0.006 per stream.
Ya know, my car got broke into 2 years ago or so now. It’s crazy that the music that was stolen out of that car was re-recorded and now nominated for a Grammy! Sheesh !!!!
Not asking for any handouts. Not looking for any attention I promise. To those who believe in prayer please pray for me. To those who believe in sending good vibes, wishing well, positive energy etc I’ll be needing that just as well.
Listening to the radio can be really discouraging for an artist like me. These cats out here making bird noises! I’m doing something very wrong. Must be! It’s like .... is it worth it to keep practicing scales or should I switch to practicing bird noises ? I can’t tell anymore.
For the record. I already know some people will love me and some will dislike me and some will even hate. At the end of the day, I'm still paying my bills and I'm the happiest I've ever been !
I used to be upset at the fact I was getting told “NO” all the time. Wasn’t good enough for certain gigs. Now I have to worry about deciphering people’s “Yes”. A Yes from the wrong person can really mess you up in the long run.
I got into music for the love of music. I didn’t care about the money much. When I got older I just wanted to pay my bills and play music. And ya know what. I did that! I played music all over the world as a profession for 13 years straight. GOD has been so good to me.

Stream it, download it, tell everybody! How many bodies? EVERYBODY!
To all the musicians that are followers of my playing .... if I was to teach an online class , what would be some of the topics you’d want me to cover ??
I just want to put my music out. I don’t really care if only 10 people hears it the day it drops…. Maybe only 10 people suppose to hear it. I dunno. It will reach whoever it suppose to reach.
My music came on the loud speaker while I was in the park. I got really nervous while people were asking “who’s this “. Luckily they started bobbing their head to the tunes.
I remember what it felt like to play in church making no money. It felt great. I did it for the love of the music. I wonder would musicians play in church if they didn’t get paid. Hell would they even call themselves Christians if church wasn’t paying their bills....
So I’m hearing so many stories about the funk apostles being druggies stoners.... 😂😂😂😂 and most of these stories came from church people . Most of these church people never been to a show. Well I think that settles it!! Go Funk Apostles !!! 😃
