How can we best help foster a strong, supportive environment for artists and creatives?

In My View I Believe That Digital Distribution Platforms Should Increase The Dollar Amount Significantly So That We As The Artists Make An Actual Living Off Of Streaming, Purchases And Downloads Of Our Projects/ Albums That Are Released To The World. It Makes No Sense That We Can Sell Thousands To Millions Of Units Of Our Music And Only See Cents And Couple Dollars Here And There For It… Digital Distribution Platforms Have To Do Better.

Is there mission driving your creative journey?

My Goal/ Mission That Drives My Music And Entertainment Career Is To Continue Not Just Releasing Great Music For Fans Around The World But That I Also Leave A Lasting Impact And Change On Peoples Lives By The Message In My Music And Leaving A Legacy That All Will Remember And Carry On After I’m Dead And Gone.
