The Grinch who stole good music






It is about time you stopped complaining about people who you think can’t sing but whose music is making air waves. The thing is if he is accepted, then you will be accepted since you can not just sing but can also do good music. You just need to find out what it is you need to do to get across, to be known, to be embraced and to be bought.

If you bring out your music and the response is not satisfactory, that doesn’t mean you should quit music or turn into a chronic critic.  Also, it does not mean you should put yourself into the same box they’ve put their music into where the final result is to be trapped.  It just means you should learn the language of the market/fans and communicate your thing to them. If you ‘voice’ out your sound consistently and appropriately, your fans will find you.

One of the reasons why someone who can’t sing to save his life will package his crap and launch it confidently is because he has heard crap on radio, he has seen crap packaged in a nice music video and played on TV and he has seen some people dance to this crap music.  So, somehow he believes his crap would sell. Hence, he goes forth with his crappish- dogged and determined.

Nevertheless, you can sing and you have good music.

Do not despair.  Do not be discouraged.

First, you need to start with what you have and continue with what makes you unique.

Let me let you in one secret.

‘The more the crap, the more the real ish will be evident.’ 

You could eventually shine in the midst of the dullness.  You will be ‘one’ distinguished artiste amongst the many usual ones.

It is possible to be different, serve good music and still make money.  

All you have to do is to find your uniqueness, study the market, and find the best way to communicate your music and message to your fans.

They (Crap Limited) cannot kill good music. It is impossible. Fans are not zombies.  

No one is an enemy of good music.  If your music appeals, they will sing to it, dance to it and eventually pay for it.

So, quit hating on the grinch that stole good music, and put all that aggression into making your music known and acceptable.
