The post before explains why I’m taking a break from my online activities (except for twitter and skype), while this post explains the value of getting with my mailing list. Aside from the fact that for the next two months the people on this list will be privvy to my recording sessions via ustream and youtube, also they’ll be the first to hear any music I create, as well as the first to get a look at the merchandise I’m developing….basically you’re in the loop

But there’s more to it, so sign-up and read on below.

This next phase of my career, for me, is really the most important. See at first it was just about getting my music and my message out to as many people as I possibly could and tryna identify those who really connected and felt the same passion I do. So in that vein I made my first mixtape SOTG.1 . . .

Then it became about giving more of myself and sharing my journey with those who had caught on to my music and were behind me, I wanted to let people have a peak into the ups and downs of chasing a dream driven by lofty ambitions. And so this blog was born . . .

The third phase was all about connecting more deeply with my FAMbase, getting to know what you folk like. What makes you tick, what makes you laugh, what makes you mad, what makes you cry….and so the constant status updates on facebook and twitter action were geared towards this purpose. Not forgetting all the Skype convos and the fb chats….

And now we’re here, this stage to me is all about figuring out who the truly passionate believers of this dream are, its also the phase where i aim to give back. I dont expect a whole lot of people to sign-up but the few who do will be the core of my future plans.

So do me one favour, what I send you through the mailing list, share it as if it was your own. Be proud of it when it deserves ur pride and feel free to criticise when I fall below ur expectations, I dont expect you to like everything. I just want your energy behind me and your hearts with mine, focused on what could be an amazing year. But we’ve gotta do it together.

With that said, before I let the blog rest for a bit, THANK YOU !!!!!!
