Beyond the fame, beyond the numbers, beyond the sales and the likes, I truly believe that the number one purpose of an artist is to testify, to watch and observe, to denounce and to claim the truth when everything around seems to lock it down … or to shot it down to be precise. The last night events in Ferguson make me sick . And stronger at the same time. I’m more than ever sure that our duty is to spread the truth, to be the people’s voice. So when the money is down, when the success seems to go away, when the crowds don’t react to your believes, never forget one thing : We are the people’s voice. ***Thanks to Cool FD for sending***

I can’t count how many times I told these words to myself : « this Internet game speeds up way too much the independent music grind ». I couldn’t be able to name all the artists that I’ve seen grinding for months, then release their album and be put out of the radars three weeks after. To make it clear, there is so much artists and so much releases every day that your new single dropped today will be considered as old one the day after … unless you do not accept it ! Why deciding to impose your own rythm ? You put your heart in your music (time and money included), your message is sincere and does not lose quality with time, and the Internet permits you to reach new fans everyday that still haven’t a single note of your creations yet : this is at least three reasons to refuse to follow the pace. Now we agree, how to make it a reality ? How to really control the life time of this precise song from your discography that deserves to be pushed and pushed ag...
