My Career
Current mood: determined
Category: Music
Hello.
My name is Major Throw Down. I am writing this blog because God has blessed me with the talent of being a musician. I have written and composed several songs, with me playing all of the instruments. I also sing all of the vocals and backgrounds on the songs. Samples of my talent can be heard on MySpace, TagWorld (if you can view due to issues with my site), Arkade Digital Music, KVLB.com and Artistopia. I've been a musician all of my life. I have paid my dues by playing in dives for free, just to get exposure and some other gigs for little to no money. I have even gotten ripped off from some gigs. I have traveled on the road in close quarters with sweaty and smelly musicians. I have lost thousands of dollars on people with promises of assisting with developing my career. I was ripped off by Talent 2k, promising me a record deal. I have met with A & R managers , whose heads were banging while listening to my music, feeling the grrove of what they were listening to. It seems like the industry is being dictated and geared towards young musician who know nothing of the business. I mean no disrespect, but in the past years, it has been very difficult. I made a promise to my family that before God takes me from this earth, that I would succeed in my career. I would change our life situation and financial status because I know that God blessed me with this talent. I know that some people use God as a way to trying to get sympathy and help. You can go to the websites that I listed above and listen to one man playing everything and doing all of the work on one CD. You can see and hear for yourself, all of the talent that God has blessed me with. I am not begging, but God said when two are gathered and agreed, it shall be done. David said he never saw the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread. I am determined to prove that what I ask God for, he said that I could have. And He is not a liar. This post is to you, who God has placed in an authoritve position, to take my career to where it should be. God has placed on my heart to help the less fortunate, through my talents. Each of us has a talent that God has given to use and it MUST be used or else God will remove it. My talent is to be used to help my family and those who are less fortunate (the homeless, etc.). If you are in the industry and God has placed it on your heart to respond to this blog, please assist my career. Just like some lawyers do pro-bono cases to give back.
