Heyaaa, so I am back in Los Angeles for the moment. I just landed a music management job with a Rock/Metal/Alternative band,
www.myspace.com/delandsalley, and I have also jumped on board with
www.powerchordacademy.com, which I think is an amazing opportunity. I will be traveling to different parts of the country working with a rock and roll camp that helps teenagers to realize their potential... they'll be able to write music, form bands, record their music and perform live. Even make music videos and who knows what else falls in between!
I believe in balance. Toss the idea around, chew it a little, hang it up on the wall for a bit. It's simple, yet complex; you need a mix of all things in your work to be approachable to your audience, while remaining classy and well rounded and founded.
I love to see art with different thematic ideas that touch on this... they have great lighting, setting, composition, a good eye on their subject, utilizing makeup and wardrobe not always necessarily having the product they are intending to sell being the focus of the shot. You have to create a feeling... AIDA stands for Attention, Interest, Desire, and Action. You have to catch their attention, spark their interest, create desire in them, and that will leave you with giving them a call to action, telling them what to do once you've touched their hearts.
Ok I totally rambled. But I have touched upon the surface of what I am setting out to do. I involve myself in many activities, but I don't spread myself thin. I am wholeheartedly committed to the projects I take on in all areas of entertainment, and I am always looking for new advancements into broadening my palette and my spectrum of skills.
I constantly live life with a conviction that everything happens for a reason that is not for us to know. Every seeming misfortune will give way to a slew of many opportunities that you never anticipate. So as the lovely Ms. Audrey Hepburn stated ever so gracefully...
"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others."
--Audrey Hepburn
