Signed a short-term contract with a record label

Earlier this week, I had meeting with a Record Label over here in California. They contacted me through myspace and set me up with a meeting. So we talked business and I liked what I heard so I signed a short term contract for 6 months. I wouldn't have signed the contract if I didn't like the deal they were offering me. If they see I'm consistent and dedicated, after the 6 months I can decide if I want to sign with them on a long term basis. They'll pay for everything including music videos and distribution. They're not asking for a percentage so any profit I make off album sales goes directly to me.

Also the CEO of the company just bought a limo, so we'll be going to our shows in style! Right now I get access to their professional studio, a bio, and a photo shoot. Basically I get access to everything. I just couldn't pass up this offer! They have a very professional studio setup and everybody on the label is cool as hell. Anyway I go back next week to meet a producer who will produce 3 original tracks for me. In the meantime, check out this video of an event they put together in my hometown of West Covina...

Personally I can't stand the host, and it's not my type of music (at all, but you managed to make it good enough for me to think it was actually alright), but I can see its appeal and I hope the best for you. Best of luck and enjoy the career. :)

You're right, it does have a mass appeal (especially with the ladies). I'm excited about this opportunity and I believe this is the beginning of something great. Anway, thanks for the support!

Looks like you've got a good thing going for you. Good luck with that. I'd like to hear some of the music you produce, if possible.

I gotta thank you for making me those awesome beats! Without you, I wouldn't have half of the hits I have. Like I've told you before, once I get famous I'm bringing you up with me! Get ready.

One huge step closer, congrats man.

Personally though, to be honest, I hate Micheal Jackson tribute things, cause not that long ago those same people made jokes about him and little boys on the same level as they do with the catholic church(being Catholic one reason I need him alive, gets some of the jokes off of me a little bit). Anyways yes he was revolutionary but to be honest just because someone dies, don't obsolve him of the shitty things he did. This may be an extreme but just cause hitler died doesn't mean I say, "well he brought germany out of a bad funk."

Anyways congrats bro

Thanks man. But Believe it or not, there are some people who were dedicated MJ fans who stuck up for him over his career. You'd be surprised. I knew some people personally that always defended Michael and believed he truly was innocent. But as far as celebrities go, 99.9 percent of them get parodied. If they didn't, we wouldn't have classic shows like In Living Color. Hell even Newgrounds is known for its celebrity bashing. It's all in good fun. But when someone dies, they deserve some sort of recognition.
