How do you think, does the Internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
THE INTERNET HAS MADE THE WORLD SMALLER. NOW YOU CAN CHAT WITH PEOPLE IN OTHER COUNTRIES WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR HOME. MP3 IS THE BOMB IT ALLOWS OTHERS TO HEAR YOUR MUSIC SO MUCH MORE EASIER. THIS OPENS THE DOOR OTHER NATIONS WHO BEFORE COULD ONLY SAMPLE A LIMITED SUPPLY OF MUSIC. NOW THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IS SICK 'CAUSE WE CAN GO TO THESE PLACES WITHOUT THEIR ASSISTANCE
Would you still sign a record contract with a major label?
YES BECAUSE YOU CAN'T BEAT THE ADVANCES AND QUIRKS THAT COME WITH A BIG LABEL. SUCH AS THEM HAVING CONTACTS IN RADIO, GETTIN YOU IN ROTATION
