What Makes Me A Popular Music Artist!

What it is that makes me PMA is my tendencies,

I’m not what you call your average musician my aim is to have a successful career within the studio, and that is the first of many things that I have in common with the PMA success, a musician is stereotypically some one that plays an instrument such as a guitar, drums, bass, piano ect but my first instrument was the turn tables then moved on to computer biased programming. I want to be successful enough to open a established commercial recording studio which will house my recording company Grab Tha Mic Records where as a musician wants to be part of a band or a session musician by the means that they still get to do what they want but more free lance. Success plays apart when you want o be the best within that area there is a lot of computation and you need to stick out so you use your competitive nature to do what you have to – to be the best if you have lesson from a piano teacher or find an establishment that covers the areas which suit you best. The success its self is what is made up from every thing else I the same as other PMA’s look for an image that hey use with the music some leave it till last and wait until they gain a deal where they let the A&R and manager work along side a stylist to create it for them, thoughts that are going it the independent route have there image first as the music can be adapted around what they are doing at the time as its not set in stone when you release music through the DIY method, I have an image I have always warn baggy jeans and T’s since I could buy my own clothing with money ernt from my own jobs as I feel restricted when I wear fitted clothing, I want lye to you I’m from the UK and love it but American designers such as Fubu, Sean John, Phat Farm and Roca Wear was always my first choice in clothing but as I grow and it becomes harder to get hold of in retailers within my area I have looked towards UK brands such as King, I also found that ADIDAS could supply me with the look I wanted, PMA’s do this they look at there clothes and see the message that it gives to the public, for example the next time your out and about or on public transport look at the suits that think they can own space or expect baggy clothed, indi looking and rockers to move when its equal space and when your dressed up to go out for what ever reason get that little more respect from others. But image is our choice and if we get fed up we can change it but moving on, PMA’s as do I look towards branding, every thing has to be able to be sold the music needs to be sold, the image needs to be sold and the artist needs to be sold, signing a deal is branding as labels work with similar artist (with exception’s) so you become familiar with what that artist may sound like, we look for help from other sources my self would be ADIDAS as its to do with my image others may look to Top Man or Billabong there’s endless clothing lines that are desired by artistes. And its not just the clothing its cars, its radio station’s, its drinks it can be any thing that will get you involved, set up and ready as a desired buyable product that can sit on a shelf and earn you money.

My branding is this, I am dyslexic so I intentionally spelt MR as MISTA many may think I’m trying to be street but it’s the concept of putting out there this filters into my label is Grab Tha Mic Records with correct spelling it should be the right well iv done it like this to link it with the saga a mix tapes I have created SOUNDS OF A DAY IN THA STUDIO: THA INSTRUMENTALS, THA MIX’S, THA FREE STYLES all with tha in it all tha time its continues its branding, I have a logo which is also on all the cd’s you find it all over my sites on the web, it coincides with ALL STAR PRODUCTIONS, the non musical part to it but along with the label has a slogan Grab Tha Life Live Tha Dream GRAB THA MIC RECORDS, We All Wana Be Star’s ALL STAR PRODUCTIONS making things simple makes it easy to understand when people understand it they relate to it if many relate it becomes desirable. I have even created a Slogan for the sale of merchandise which was inspired but my first T-shirt design, you see artist such as tichy styrders STAR IN THE HOOD and JME’s BOY BETTER KNOW T’s they went where we all can go to get these so i had slapped across the front ANY ONE CAN HAVE A T-SHIRT PRINTED which created A.O.C clothing standing for ANY ONE CAN, branding is the product you want to sell understanding commercialism will make it sell.

My last point of what makes me a PMA is the web PMA’s love to make an impact they will have the flashy glitzy designs all over there MySpace with YouTube videos giving them that sense of achievement, FaceBook filled with photos that you get to look at and Twitter where they tell the world about every little thing they are doing in a day. I do this I have HotMail, MySpace, FaceBook and Twitter for both GRAB THA MIC RECORDS and ALL STAR PRODUCTIONS all linking together click here and it will take you there and so on I even have bebo which isn’t used but its there and this lets me communicate with the world without setting up a website but all PMA’s will.

We compromise on what we do when we need to but we always know what we want when it comes to sound, clothing, web sits and over all designs. We are what we are but are hunger divides us from the rest. My ideas and wants with regards to these things are what make me a Popular Music Artist.
