Today we put to rest the word, “UNSIGNED”. He was there through some of our struggles, failures, and victories. He was a word of his time. We worked so very hard to break free from his grip. Some of us were successful in shakin’ him, becoming “signed”, only to discover that the prize we worked to hard to obtain was mostly a fantasy. We didn’t know that we had within us the power and the ability to create our own destiny, be free to say what we wanted, and not wait at the door for opportunity to knock. We didn’t know that we could be successful while being INDEPENDENT. Everybody loves you when you’re dead, but unfortunately that doesn’t apply to you “unsigned”. So with our new found self-awareness, we collectively say farewell to you and establish July 1st as a Day for Independents.
To All: Today when you’re promoting and pushing your music throughout this vast internet universe, hashtag it with #RIPunsigned to educate the rest of the world about the movement. And if you’re an artist reading this message, leave some parting comments below, along with any links to your music or websites!
