I'm not arty or famous at all Alex but what most people know me for is alternative health which as part of the whole medicine world can be crazy back to front in many ways ... I digress ... anyway I've learned to keep pretty quiet about my IM venture, even though the core of it for me is about opening minds up to their own spectacular healing capablity, I think they here marketing and think I've sold my soul to the devil or somethin' lol ... whatever ...

I can relate to the fact that my friends and family can't get their head around the fact that I am committed to doing this.

I was a military surgical tech for 8 years and this is a major shift. I've been at it since January every day and those close to me still think I am going through a "new civilian" phase or something. Take it easy.

Me too. It's just I use my own name and face for my IM stuff... as that is kind of who I am apart from the music... all my other niches are just for the cash :)

I totally understand. That's why I don't like putting my face on articles or anything. And I also use pen names.

As a fellow musician I can tell you I know exactly how you feel. The worst is when people act or treat you different just because you where on the stage. I actually had one person try to drug me and take me home, how do you say "fatal attraction". Any way, nice to meet you and I hope success for you and the band, keep it real man, its what the scene needs.

Just another point Alex. People have to get over themselves. They may want to limit who you are to one thing, but you don't have to cooperate. Some folks are multi talented. Oh, what a radical thought! The Giclee printing process was invented by Graham Nash of Crosby, Stills, and Nash. I, for one am so grateful that this musician was versatile enough to dream up this fine digital printing process, otherwise we probably wouldn't have it, and I would be doing off set lithography for small runs. One of the good things that's coming out of this miserable economy is that smart folks are having to get resourceful. We're all going to benefit in the long run.

Cheers AC, congrats on your hard work and success!! Massive Respect to you my brother. I knew who you were before we linked up on here, I think it is cool to have you and other artists in the WA family. It is a crazy world we live in, this is the worst economy since the Great Depression, and multiple revenue streams are a MUST. I am known around the world for Drum&Bass music, but those who know me personally are aware that my background is a jazz musician. I went to college for music & marketing. So naturally, IM fits perfect with our www.bassdrive.com station and www.bassdrivetunes.com label. I was also hired as Marketing Director for Urban Chemistry Recordings in Miami to perform the same functions. I find myself teaching & vocal coaching less and less each year. I only take on dedicated students because of my busy schedule, and many people would prefer to be rock stars than musicians in my opinion. There are plenty of video games to fulfill those needs, and I am way too busy for lazy students. All of my efforts on here are to support the Arts. That is my passion. Now that I have been able to spend some time with the WA family since October, I know that this is the best family in the IM industry, so I will start to supplement my hustle with the affiliate program, lettings the world know that our WA family is the real deal. It breaks my heart to see so many people scammed online every day, so people need to know that a place like WA exists for them. I sent you some WA Gold.

I kinda understand... I have an artistic background and the internet is "full" lol of references to things I've done in the past related to movies, voice over and over stuff and actually I don't put info out there related to IM as in my main niche I have another identity! :) But as I'm planning on promoting WA soon with my real name (or I may keep the Louise M. ..., not sure yet), it'll be the "big jump" I guess. :)

Not the same way as you guys. Not my face anyways. I'm not a rock star. However, they know my work. I'm using my reputation to promote my websites. I figure it's an advantage. May as well use it. The only thing that's weird to the people who know me is they can't image me being a techy, which of course, I'm not. However, I'm getting some techy thoughts.
