So, having been in the entertainment industry for over 10 years, I have seen and experienced many amazing things. I have also had the misfortune of seeing and experiencing many amazingly unethical things. I created this blog for anyone interested in venturing into the entertainment industry. For the most part, I will be addressing questions that are submitted to me, and, occasionally I will write some random thoughts on a random subject.
Well, that's the point of my blog in a nutshell. Let's have some fun, bring on the questions!
I'm not going to post my resume on here, but I'll give you a bit of info that you are free to Google. "No Authority"
Okay, that's all for now!

I wasn't sure if you wanted people to submit questions here or through e-mail. I chose here (obviously).
So you been in it for 10 years, huh? Do you ever feel like you just need to leave it all behind and get a "regular" job? Like you might be wasting your time and your life?
I didn't mean to be a downer, but I have those moments. They suck.
Of course you are going to have moments like that, and that is why I tell most people that they SHOULDN'T get into the business. If you don't absolutely LOVE it, you will never make it in the business. Even the people you see that get "overnight success" have been going at it for longer than your average individual's career! For some people it takes a year, for some it takes ten. Heck, for some, it may even take a lifetime. As long as you LOVE it, it doesn't matter HOW long it takes to reach your goal, whatever it may be. The bottom line is, you are LIVING your dream, and THAT is what it is truly all about!
I have a two part question. Any advice on how to get a manager? And advice on doing a demo that is good without being overdone. Thanks.

It may be tough to find a manager if you do not live in an "entertainment" city. You can always look on Craig's List, or, better yet, check out local colleges that have courses that are relevant to the area that you are interested in and interact with the students that are taking those classes.
I'm not really sure that you can "over-do" a demo. You want to have the demo as close to a finished product as possible. It really comes down to your songwriting style and the ability to deliver a great performance. Also, it's not usually the best practice to have more than one "lead" vocal track as it tends to sound a little muddy. There are instances where this isn't true, but as a general rule of thumb, you don't want to stack your leads.
