Hi
Today I want to talk about sticking it out…. ‘victory is for believers and for those who believe in it long enough’. Not so long ago Propa Talent launched with ‘Back to Life’,Metasyn. We got 20,000 views the first week to which we credited to an awsome video. We also got about 19,000 shitty emails slagging us off on every site like u tube blah…..so much hate it was astonishing and sad. That is a red flag to me….6 months later Propa Talent has broken the charts twice of the biggest drum and Bass site ever Drum and Bass Arena and I want to share that with you becasue sometimes when it feels like the world is against you,you may want to give up. My band did.We broke up. Left alone standing I continued , well, what else am I supposed to do-I am a fighter! I also believe in what I doing to the point of blind faith not always a good thing,I have lost people I love due to my love affair with music.
Still- can’t live son won’t street and I have that ‘fuck you’ mentality for sure. You kinda need that. Grow some skin,make it tough, your gonna need it when they claw at your back.
I know my artistes are amazing…I see the reaction on my streaming shows!!!!!!!! I know a great record when I hear one,it’s my job after all. You may not like me but I know you will love Echo Inada,Noiseloor and Zubes to name a few….( on the house side Brian Matrix,Mark Campbell, Sanchez & the Shockers)) Now my music is just getting good and I feel the same about the label…we are really emerging now….I know more about the label I run it inside out,so I am more relaxed and comfortable now…and the music is just getting better and better.We have a long long way to go before we can say we are a true success,but people are starting to notice. My undying support from my fans is so humbling to me.
They are helping me build these labels through my streaming shows and I love ‘em for it which is why I give so much of my time and energy to them.
We are up against the Beatport machine, dj polls and all kinds of ‘cool’ factors that get in the way of real music,however we can’t be ignored for ever if we are always spitting out quality. Search deeper than the top 10 my friends,the diamonds are buried in the coal.
I just want to thank you all for your wonderful support and to say how damm great it feels to see my artiste doing well,though not making alot of cash they,like me are in it for the right reasons, the love of great music and a chance to say ‘fuck you’ to the machine.
Here are some handy links for you,please subscribe to the labels it cost you nothing and really helps us!!!!
