The small amount of time I worked with Janet, she was a top shelf class act. Very kind, warm, and approachable. I was her safety spotter and stage handler for #EssenceFest in #NOLA just after Michael died.

With Janet Jackson gearing up to hit the road this spring, we visualize how the show can honor decades of hits.

We had a MASSIVE rig that had to be lowered from the lighting rig height down to the stage for the hologram to project onto. Initially we were going to project Michael as a hologram. But, Janet couldn’t get through the whole song in rehearsals without getting choked up.

I was/am BEYOND impressed. Very good. And I am NOT a country fan. Despite having worked for just about every country act you could think of. I gave soul to the media machine 4 years. I toured even more with rock/pop. The pay was great. But, it cost me everything that mattered.

With a little logistic planning, this would be cake. You sit at the crest of a wave that could sail right past the exist music label/promoter system that picks music for us and gives us back access to even the smallest artists. I’d love to help in any way I can.

I’ve seen things enter the media landscape by just about every method you can think of. But, nothing ever like this. You obviously weren’t prepared for this, as evidenced by the scramble to get things on iTunes. I have absorbed every bit of media I can find of yours. Speechless

Now to my point: By my best figuring, on iTunes figures alone, having no label, you are in an AMAZING place to be as an aspiring artist. I’ve always felt that music is transformative. Its a very real magic. You’ve tapped into something that’s visceral.

But, that veneer left quickly and after that it became a process of steadily chipping away at my soul with every new artist or tour. The things that we as an industry turned blind eyes to in the name of “the show must go on” make me fear for my soul because of my participation.

You mentioned playing smaller places and other farmers markets. I think that’s a stroke of genius. But, expand it a bit. Make every one a full event, with a local fair like atmosphere. Encouraging other like minded independent musicians to participate (of which there are plenty)
