November 2nd, 2022 Update:

Check out my 2020 update, I haven't looked at this in years. The only reason why I keep this because it shows my younger self. The platform I got this on is now dead, but it was good while it lasted.

*********April 26th 2020 Update:********

I looked over bits and parts of this video and want to clear up several things.

#1 I don't actually have 100,000 fans across my current social media at this time. I did have it on Myspace, Headliner and through Facebook stats. Who knows what the Law of Attraction has planned. If I put positive vibes out to the universe it will come back to me (and in hindsight IT HAS). By making this video, I was in a sense projecting what I wanted.

#2. You don't have to be famous to earn a living off your music. People intertwine fame and success a lot, like you have to have fame to be successful. This is not true.

I earn a living off my music and I can live my life in piece. The older I get, the less interested I am in fame. I audition in LA and NYC and I'm good homie.

#3 Some of the people I gave shoutouts in this video, we no longer talk and in 2020 hindsight we wasn't friends in the first place. Tip: Some friendships only last for a season. If you're in school reading this, take all the videos, photos you can, because even if the friendships don't last the memories do!

#4 I rather have 100,000 on my email list than on social media. Having large social media presence is great, don't get me wrong. But if something happens to that social media you're out of luck. By having emails, you own it and will still have a way to get in touch with your people even when social media is not in the picture. Look at what happened to Vine and Myspace stars.
