When you as an musician are trying to have a relationship with someone who’s not. Trying to survive on the gig’s and product sales sometimes could be very daunting. The swing of income varies widely varies from successful to a struggling artist. Sometimes it’s not understood that this is a business and you are running your life as a business. Also that your business hours are not the same as a 9-5. Most music deals are secured after hours sometimes in the we hours of the morning. Along with shows and appearances. That’s why your other half has to be strong. If your a producer like myself you often have to produce music and record and sell or try to get it picked up and this process could take anywhere from a few weeks to a few years.

That’s just on personal level what about the fan level. When adoring fans and groupies start to throw stuff at you or pour it on thick. Both parties have to be strong because one has to refrain from temptation and the other has to be very trusting, with no jealously and very understanding. I’ve seen only a very few musicians relationship work because of this.

Almost euphoric! I honestly must say I’ve never felt like this in my life. Most of it spent worrying about what happens next and how to accomplish it. Now I’m more relax then I’ve ever been about life and my outlook.

Yes I may want people who I work with to have my drive and direction but there’s only so much you can push people. Because every person has there own agenda and sometimes it may cross paths with yours and other times it may clash. A true leader recognizes this clash sooner then later and knows how to differentiate between taking the lead in some cases and to step out of the way in other cases. The ultimate goal is to try to direct moving the whole kit and kabodle in the same direction and completing what ever project there is. Whether business or personal. So I look forward to the rest of my life, with the enjoyment it will bring with meeting new and exciting people and projects, and can’t wait to explore what’s around that next corner and embrace whatever it has in store…

Nah, No rest for me!!! I’ve been grinding in the music business. As a producer I’ve got to make sure all the music of the artist I work with is Super OK and that their focus is right. Otherwize I wouldn’t be a “super producer”. (Someone called me that once ). So I go to shows or just hang out with the artist keeping them on track. I have pictures of S.O.A.Q. and Eve Soto also, I’ ll post them later. In the meantime check out some of fay-o-la’s music and show pic’s.
