I use to wonder why I would go to shows and it would be the same rappers and artists every show and now I know why.
I started throwing shows to give people a chance to do a show, make some money from ticket sales and to be able to network and do more events with Wisdom Court. But all these people have shown me is they don't want to work professionally or work at all.
I can't tell you how many times I get told they don't have the money to pay me the $25 deposit. Uhmmmm For $25 I give you 15 tickets to sell for $10 each....that's $150 and then you give me $50 the night of the show. It's that easy.
I continue to get people asking me for info. I send it to them and then never hear anything.
I am booked till the end of the year which is Dec 14th and I truly don't know if I'm going to continue. I have been trying to do this to help people and time and time again the music scene has shown me that it only wants someone to hand them things.
Funny how when industry artists come to the city I get tons of inbox messages about do I know who to contact so they can open for that artist. SMH Funny thing is most of the time I do know but why in the hell should I do anything for those people when I have been the one supporting them with coming to their shows and taking pictures?
Too many egos for me to deal with. I have tried and tried to help and support and I guess save the scene but most of you take all that for granted.
What happened to the scene??? You happened to the scene. Instead of supporting the scene you support yourself and expect it to support you in return.
Watch and see what happens next.
