Stop Tripping on VJays Dee Jays Authors Book Publishers and Radio Personalities

I had an interesting discussion with a women out of Knoxville Tn. who after yesterdays "I DO Music" seminar she seem to be a tid bit shy about leaving her press kit and bio, because the panelist stated their was a right and wrong way to approach them. One of he panelist made it clear their was a certain way to approach them when leaving music. She also stated that "she wouldn't listen to your music unless she had a relationship with you." In order for a artist to get her to listen to their music you would have to build a relationship with her. I say Fuck them and stop doing things the conventional way. Drop your music on them, introduce yourself, thank them for their time and keep it moving. You have to remember as an artist you are dealing with "Right Brained" (information and processing side of the brain) people. As an artist you operate on the left side of the brain. So, when you want to discuss music, arts, and fashion etc. they would rather talk about seminars,talk shows, book publishing, motivational speaking, and quotes of the day, and financial numbers. You as an artist have to understand both sides of the brain in order to wage war on the V-Jays, Dee Jays, and Radio Personalities, authors, and book publishers.

You have to create a Brand that they will want to follow. I want you to take stock for a minute and think back about celebrity profiling, have you ever noticed that many of these same Right Brained individuals Gawk at celebrities or the creative folks? This is because to be creative is an exceptional gift that many people don't have.

The next time, you are at a music conference or seminar don't trip on the V-Jays, Dee Jays, Authors, Book Publishers,and Radio Personalities they can kiss your ass because your a brand that is ready to do business with like minded people. When you are at a industry event just give them your material make the connection, build the relationship,get their info.,and get the hell on.

Energy what is and how does it affect you and your art or business? Their is a certain thing as energy between two people, and you have to find the group of people who have to same type of energy you do. Dealing with business minded or Right Brained people may not click with the creative energy that you are giving off. Have you ever heard of the term Six Degrees of separation? Six Degrees of separation means you are six people away from the person you need to do business with. For example, I know Barack Obama, Obama knows Lil'John, Lil John knows Kate Hudson, Kate Hudson knows 50cent and 50cent knows Joe Blow Smoke whose uncle is in charge of operations at Live Nation. He heard about you through 50 and would like to talk to you about a business opportunity.After meeting with Joe Blow Smoke you now have a six figure touring dealing to help promote your brand as a artist, Many artist know this is the opportunity you need that will change your life from being nobody to some body. Your just one person away from getting where you want with your career.

The reality to this post, is that no one person has the key to your success its a combination of your hard work, networking, and building your brand that eventually leads to your success. So, the next time you go to a music conference or seminar and you approach a Right Brained individual don't kiss their ass just shake their hand, get their contact information, and leave your flyers, cd, and business cards etc. If the one person or group of people don't connect with you properly then Fuck'em and move on to the next situation.

Very well written & very well spoken. True to the utmost - where does the relationship building start? You have to get your name out there and if there is no relationship at the beginning, they won't toss your kit EVERYTIME they get it. If they get the same kit enough, eventually they will listen to it...or at least, the people who matter will.

You Go!
Tell the Truth! You have to do the work! And many of those same people want FANS! Of which, you will be one, if you start spending a lot of time relationship building and less time doing the actual art-work!
Right On!..Right on...
Work your ass till you drop, then work some more and then see them (V-jays,DJ's & that crew) at the Award Ceremony trying to get in...
