You know what's crazy.. I'm running this beta test for my app right? Outta 18 people who GAVE me their email address personally to test the app, only 9 of them have actually installed it from the link I sent them. Even people you know, even people who said they would... Wild.

And saying "you should have to hire a graphics designer" as the answer... That's like me saying "You should have to come to me for a mix" I have no right to say it.
There's a point with AI gig posters... I get it, it's lazy, we all see them and know they're AI... But .. where most people are wrong is, it didn't take a graphic designers job. Those restaurants didn't hire one and then get rid of em. They've never had decent posters til now.

My daughter went to a callback for auditions and she won the role of Snoopy! Did you know there's a separate discipline in music for movie vocalists?? It's not write a song, release it as an artist, it's a team composes the song and lyrics and chooses your voice to perform it.

Still the best thing we have received being artists...Better than a Grammy An amazing human soul that cared enough to create a personal iconic one-off gift to thank us for our sounds. Beats 100k people who don't give a damn cheering for the next winner.

My track You Alone was originally written on a blank production line label when I worked at Research In Motion making blackberries back in 2010. Our line would shut down on nightshift for 12 hrs, nothing to do so I got to writing songs on those little sheets. Maybe I can find one

I think the truth is, as much as average Spotify listeners say they support or would support independent music, the thought of losing access to their mainstream artists who were pushed into their souls with millions of dollars is too great. Artists make up 1.5% of the listeners
