Track 2

I have a countless number of goals that I want to accomplish within the next year, let alone the next 5 or 10. First and foremost, I want to continue writing and practicing as much as possible. Another one of my close future goals is to really work our social media sites. All of what record companies and venues are looking at now is numbers on band's sites. We really need to get our Facebook numbers up and my goal by the end of the year is to have something like 5,000 likes as we currently only have about 560. I know this is kind of a stretch but I really think we can do it. I'm going to continue putting up covers on YouTube and promoting my band through annotations on the video and hoping that helps along with playing a lot of shows.
In 5 years, I really hope to be signed to Hopeless Records and on tour. I honestly don't want anything more than to go on tour. I know that it's what I was made to do and I'm going to go all for it. I know that many musicians don't make it but I feel like I really have my chance and that it's really going to happen for me.
In the next 10 years, I hope to be settling down from touring and starting either my own record label and recording upcoming artists and/or writing for other artists. I really wish that by that time I'll have enough money to be able to start a family and begin that next chapter of my life but that's way too far in the future for me to worry about now! All I'm going to focus on is my music.

From The Top

Age 17 has been the turning point of my life. I've always talked about something but never put an action to my words. I'm finally ready to get going full force and pursue my dream of being a Sound Artist. I've always had plans to get signed and to produce my own music and now it feels so great to have a solid base to work off of. I have so many different things that I want to do and I honestly don't know where to start right now but all I know is that I'll have no free time. One of my goals is to engineer, write and produce my band's album by February or March of 2013. I also hope to get an internship at Hopeless Records in Van Nuys after high school and get my name known there because that is where I eventually want to sign to. So far, I've been working on what seems like countless hours of drum tracks for my band's LP! I've also spending a lot of time marketing and promoting my band on facebook, twitter and tumblr. Please like us on facebook (; Academically, I basically just want to get through high school and be able to spend all of my time on music. I'm really excited for this year and I think a lot of unexpected things are going to happen and I can't wait to find out what those things are.
