The Daily Dose: The Foundation for twentyTEHN

I’ve been talking and thinking about focus a lot recently. Not just on here but with the people around me. In talking about it though I hadn’t really narrowed it down to what exactly I feel I need to focus on. But now I finally have the answer. And its simple really.

Making great music. I worry so much, or at least this past year, about how to get my music out. How to make money from it. How to make new fans who really and truly believe and get behind me. How to make this blog entertaining and exciting. To the point that I haven’t been writing as much, when in reality the music is what’ll do everything I’ve been so obsessively concerned about getting right.

I honestly from here on trust that as long as keep pouring my all into the letters and the melodies, the rest will come. So instead spending 80% of my energy and focus on how to break out, I’m gonna focus it on how to make great music. The other 20% will go to building real relationships with my FAMbase. Which to me isn’t just the people who listen to my music, but it’ll also include my manager when they come into my life to help me steer this ship, the producers I’ll work with and the indstry connections I plan on making in 2010. The people who feel my passion and pour their own passion into me, so WE can grow and exceed all expectations together. Thats my FAMbase.

I’m so excited. This may not be the year that I get where I’m going, but this’ll be the one that plants the seeds and helps me build my foundation.

Fuck, I LOVE THIS LIFE !

peace,love & the presence of mind to focus…
