Hello from new american artist - Brookieg - 07-10-2011
Hello. I am a teen artist and I was just signed ( to a small label though) and I would like to get to know the all of you! I've just started singing a year ago so it's crazy how I'm already signed. I'm working my way to a larger label and hopefully you guys can support me on my road to success here in america! One person asked me who my celebrity crush is...that's diggy simmons. Ha!
I wonder if the world is ready for me!

Well there's gratitude for you. You've just been signed and you are already thinking of dumping them in your self-serving ambition. Be kind to people on your way up. You sure as hell are going to meet them on the way down.
The point I am trying to make here (and I am sorry if it came over as being critical in a negative sense) is simply this - if a label is giving you a break, give them one as well. One hand washes the other. They also want to get somewhere. Good God, is this what we have sunk to? ME ME ME. Treat them the same way you want to be treated. It's not bloody rocket science.

I think your right there Jerome! Many people are just in this for the ego trip and think that they are something special .............not true we all enter this world equal and we all go out the same way !

couldnt have said it better myself Jerome
read the words of this Paul Weller song Brookieg, and learn from a music "legend" about self'serving ambition and its ultimate pitfalls!!!!
IT JUST CAME TO PIECES IN MY HANDS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRoCSCXZDSs audio
I stood as tall as a mountain
I never really thought about the drop
I trod over rocks to get there
Just so I could stand on top
Clumsy and blind I stumbled
As I crawled through desert sands
I didn't stop to think about the consequences
As it came to pieces in my hands
I thought I was a maritime marvel
I believed that I ruled the waves
All I could say is time is motion
And every effort others made I would saved
I was a shit stained statue
School children would stand in awe
Truly believed I was a ceiling of sky
Never thought about having flaws
I felt as reverent as Jesus
The sanctimony stunk
I thought I was admiral of the missing fleet
I couldn't see that I was sunk
I roared my pride in the darkness
I scratched away at the stars
I thought I was lord of this crappy jungle
I should have been put behind bars
But now I sit with my head in my hands
And wail to the weeping wall
The avalanche of my emotions
Holds the audience of one enthralled
Like learning the lesson the hard way
Like a fall from command
I thought I was king of the whole wide world
But it just came to pieces......in my hands

Na - I dont agree - Or yeah I DO, to a certain limit - BE KIND, but dont lick a.. - Listen to Robbie Williams when he said: "If you wanna get somewhere, be ready to say NO to A LOT of people" (And probably other things than people - tihi - like drugs f.e.) VERY GOOD LUCK TO YOU! You can be proud of been signed already! I think that only 1% of talented musicians these days get signed. These are not the days to go for a record contract. I love when people think they are good enough to go all the way. If you dont think that you can do it you are NOT gonna get there, NEVER. To believe in your self is THE nr 1 strongest power to get you where you want.

Can't agree you sound typical of the 21st century ..............To believe in the one you serve is the greatest power........................Thus said George Harrison , John Lennon and Bob Dylan they seem to have done well and did not have to rely on an over blown ego to do It !!

Jerome's correct...we've all gotta start somewhere, but treat every connection as if it were the most important, because you never know when it WILL be the most important.
