As most of my friends know I was telling everyone I was playing in a band that was going to get signed and I was in the studio recording guitar parts with a great potential band. This was all a lie as I found out last night that the guys in the bands are not men of their words and not good ambassadors for the music industry. I have been lied to and cheated out of time, money, and career opportunities because the main guy in the band isn't a leader and I had to take the leadership roles in order to make this band work out. They could not giving me 1 good explanation as to why they didn't want me to play in the band...all that was said is that they didn't feel a emotional connection between us all and that there wasn't a good friendship going on. Look guys...we are not dating...get over it!

The problem with this is that in business there is no real true friendship....just business relationships that should be strictly dedicated to making the business operate correctly. In a real business you make decision based upon facts...These guys had no facts about the decision they made, nor did they have the guts to talk to me about certain things that they felt they did not like. This is not how business is ran in the real world. Real businesses make decision models in order to make the business operate within standard guidelines.

I'm sad to say that my big opporutunity to make it in the music industry has slowly faded and died out. I have lost more than these guys could ever imagine. I quit my band Lost Dog to be with these guys, I took off work to go to the studio for these guys with 2 day notices, I would go to work for 9-10 hours a day come home and practice for 3 horus straight, I took all my freetime & dedicated it to this project, I spent countless hours of my time in the studio trying to make parts perfect for this project....all for what? What will I have to show for all of this? NOTHING!

I have nothing at all to show for the work that I have done for these guys and this project. These guys have personally damaged my lifely livelihood and my character. These is nothing that they can do to give back the time, energy, and money that I have lost. On the other hand, I will be looking for compensation for the time, money, sacrifices, & energy that I put into this project.

To all the people that know me. You all know that I am one of the hardest worker when it comes to life. I work countless hours and spend countless amounts of time working on the progression in my life. I am a role model and I'm a great ambassador for the music industry. I am a hardworking american citizen with a dream of becoming a professional musician one day. This dream was almost vangished after what happened last night. I was on the verge of dropping everything and telling myself that this isn't for me.....But after thinking about it for the past 16+ hours I have convinced myself I am not finished. I have worked too hard and have developed too good of a hear for music to just QUIT.

A wise man once told me there are 3 types of people in this world:

People who make things happen
People who watch things happen
People who wonder what happened

The guys I was dealing with are wondering what is happening around them. They have no clue what is out there. They are stuck in their own selfish world & always have their hands out looking for something free...they are no even in the american system that makes this country run.

I was not working with great musicians nor men. I was working with kids who think they no...but have no idea. I was working with mediocore musicians who songs sucked before they met up with the producer who changed their life.

I was working with a great management company and an excellent producer. I like these guys alot and have learned alot for these guys. I have no hard feelings toward these guys as they have really helped me out and given me a great opportunity. This was not their decision...it was the bands decision.

My conclusion:
I have alot of anger built up inside of me right now for the way I was treated. I do not wish this upon anybody. I have never been treated like this in my whole life by anyone and I feel for people who have been let down the way I was let down last night. I will become the musician that I want to be...not by someone giving it to me...but by making it happen myself with the help of people who are successful in the music industry....I HAVE A DREAM TO BECOME A PROFESSIONAL MUSICIAN!
