Setting The Stage
I'd like to consider myself a big fish in a little pond of guppies. Not big in terms of cash flow, and not extremely big in experience, but knowledge is what grows my fins and tail bigger than the guppies. It can seem prideful and arrogant to say.
I used to be one of those artists that claimed to know everything, but knew nothing past the brown on my skin and the notes in my head. Once I started meeting people in the industry, I soaked in any knowledge they gave up. It took time for me to get what some were saying, but it wasn't what they were saying, it was the questions that I asked.

I mean for crying out loud, if you're going to be in the business of music, then you need to know the business! That's like saying you want to open a store, stock the store, and make money off the sale of your products without actually knowing how to run your business. That's like saying you want a girlfriend without actually attempting to get a girlfriend, then when you do get her, you do nothing to understand her or keep her happy. You just completely ignore what makes the relationship work, yet you want all the benefits of a good relationship.
It doesn't make sense and it's an recipe for disaster. Do you know how many incredibly talented artists that made it into the majors yet never went anywhere because they didn't know how to handle their business? Even more, how about the artists that actually got signed but who's projects or careers never saw the light of day? What about the artists that start on their way, create incredible music, then they get handed some bogus deal from a nobody who claims they're going to make them a star? I could run on and on about these situations in question form but I suggest that you use the power of the search engine and find out the statistics on how many artists start down the road of a glorious music career only to never truly make it because THEY DIDN'T KNOW THE BUSINESS.
So stop reading, go ahead and search...this article will still be here when you get back...

Singer, Songwriter, Producer LaQuay Swaye aka LS has dropped a new video to his incredible track "IT'S ALRIGHT". The song itself is about overcoming the hardships of a bad relationship, and rising above the negativites to a better and more positive position in life.
Although the goal of the GFM blog is to showcase independent, quality music for licensing and placement in TV, Film, Advertisement, and Video Games. My thoughts about enduring a rough relationship. Bad relationships suck so much energy out of you, its almost hard to gain that energy back. .
That's why LaQuay Swaye's song "It's Alright" has such a powerful message. The message is I am here to let you know that I have decided to let go, and move on. I need my freedom again.

The song goes on to say that this relationship is over, and no matter what, I'll be ok. It's alright. There is nothing you can do to change that. I won't reply back to your texts or crazy phone calls, I won't give in. I would rather burn in hell than be like you.
