Well he was the manager it would be weird if the artist was more informed about the music business than the guy he pays for that luxry.

I feel ya! However, it shows how unique we are and the select group of people we're amongst.

@Patrick Canaan she should leave you

Ginsuma Been saying this for years to my music friends and they just don’t get it. If you don’t have some D boys or investors backing you you’re dead in the water in this business. If you can invest in yourself, that’s the way to go. More than likely like me you’re a starving artist who can barely make ends meat. That makes things even harder so at that point you have to try and meet the right people and hope that someone believes enough in what you have to offer to take you to that next level through their money and connections. Always remember though if that’s the rout you take they’ll be a price to pay. I’ve been offered deals by D boys and I’m like Na I’m good partner. If it’s not the label it’s the streets offering you a 360.

I’ll do it without ts G

And even then, you can have the best contacts and all the skill in the world but still not blow up. Look at people like Horseshoe Gang, Jon Connor, Passionate MC, and so on. Or you'll blow up and fall off... I love music but I hate the music BUSINESS. I don't like treating art like a business.

You were ahead of your time with this one.

This is the future , again : ummmmm you may want to sit down for this one...../:

Chance's parents: Money. Pat's Paren's: Money. Definitely helps to have support to support your dreams.

It does help..but plenty of people have made it without the backing they had..stop making excuses.

k m....Many people that made it without the backing of their parents money 9 times out of 10 had a friend investing behind them or just an older guy with money that believed in their talent. I work for a studio and THE ONLY ones making big moves have investors sometimes it's parents, sometimes it's a friend. YOU NEED MONEY TO MAKE IT IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. Eventually someone will fork over some cash for a part in your career....trust me. Or you can go hustle dope get popped and never make it like many musicians do...even struggling country artists turn to drugs. It's not an excuse to realize you need backing and MONEY...that's called living in reality. How are you going to rent venues? Do shows? Travel? Get an interview (yes radio interviews cost money even for celebrities). Fuck even submitting your song to a label or radio show can cost. Or you can just put out music and grind and pray to god you get noticed and someone calls you to INVEST in you. Notice I said invest??? NOT MAKE YOU SIGN A CONTRACT....but literally help promote you, pay for your tour van, pay for your shows, pay to get you connected with streaming services ect... Do you think someone like Lil Pump for instance just blew up off soundcloud and made enough money off youtube views to start doing shows all over the US???? NOOOOOO someone gave him 30k to start touring when they saw he was doing so well on soundcloud. TL;DR The goal is to make someone believe in your talent enough to give you a couple thousand to promote yourself aggressively.. Artist make the most money doing shows....can't do shows all over the US if you're fucking broke. Understand the paradox. I hope you learned something.

At one point I volunteered to get free dance classes while going to school full time and working a job and not living at home. It was difficult, thankfully.

hell yeah

Great interview and we’ll told story. Nice series. Thank you

Yep. “I called my dad to pay it off”. Lol. Us regular folk are too busy paying the bills to have time to chase our dreams full time.
