THE INDUSTRY

I just wanted to share with you my experiences within the industry of what so many people long for and have yet to fully comprehend. There are alot of people that aspire to be superstars and pursue their dreams of becoming America's Next Great Talent. There's alot of hard work and dedication that comes along with the price of fame. Many people who rooted for you when you didnt have a dime in your pocket are the same ones who are just glad you can provide access to them to backstage. They're still groupies, then you have the ones that weren't there from day one and want to be around you now that you got something good going. I've never been the type of person to change on anyone and consider myself to be well grounded in all aspects of life. I've stood next to people who consider theirselves to be icons and I see the look on their eyes as if they wanted to trade places with me. You'd be suprized! Seventy five percent of the industry is nothing but a bunch of backstabbers, cutthroats, and people you would rather not associate with on a daily basis. When all the smoke clears, you see for people for who they truly are. I keep a small circle of friends around me that I know I can trust. I don't socialize with everyone and would rather not because everyone comes with baggage. It takes years to cultivate a meaningful relationship, but these days people forget about that opting to settle. They compromise personal beliefs because the person they're rolling with can get them in the All Access Parties or the VIP treatment. Now this person becomes their best friend all of a sudden. I don't believe in all that, my friendship can not be bought. If you ride with me then I'm down with you, its just that simple.

  1. Associates come along whenever the money is flowing. However real friends are down for whatever--money or no money.
