Is it wrong to continue singing as a passion? Is it wrong for a singer to have another full-time job and keep singing as a passion? Is it wrong for a singer to have girlfriend/boyfriend? Many people says this is not workable as singer need to focus in order to get his fame, but to me, we have to be realistic that the industry and everybody is changing daily.
In today world, nobody can get his/her fame overnight or with a couple of good songs, this is no longer and will never happen in Asia, unless that person is super super lucky and fortunate. As for girlfriend/boyfriend relationship, so long the artiste know how to handle it well, it is nothing wrong actually, just that some artistes are too CHEE HONG until no women or men, he/she will died immediately.
As for me, I just hope to continue doing good music, even one song per year for one artiste, is also good for me, as this can keep my passion on-going as a songwriter. Well, I m not a musically trained person, I know nuts about entertainment when I first started my company. I fall several times just to understand what is entertainment industry and how can I build a better company and artiste etc. Until today, I still understand one simple theory is that nobody will keep his/her passion on-going even he/she give you 1000 promises, as promise can be empty as well.
I m simple, just keep recording and discovering new talents, as one day I will find a gem and shock everyone? Haha. This is my dream, a dream to keep my passion on-going, so just have to continue dreaming. For those that want to be artiste manager, my advise is that it is not as simple as you think, as you need to know many things, such as marketing, grooming, planning, PR communication, sourcing sponsorship and creating opportunities for your artiste.
It is not easy to get good and hardworking artistes, as many will just come to try, when they fail, either they say sorry to you or they FUCK you from behind, which is so normal in this industry. Nobody will appreciate how much you had done for them, how much investment of money and time you had lost etc. But just do it, since this is my passion. We cant stop people from badmouthing, cant stop people from scolding you, so just do it until they shut up one day.
This year, hopefully I can have one new song under the company, regardless who is the person that record it. We must keep moving, and keep growing, this is the way to survive in this cold industry. Anyway I had made a mistake 10 years back for stepping into this industry, but if you want me to stop, I believe many people will stop if they encounter and going through what I had gone through, but I will not stop for no reason, as life move on, we must move on to solve all the problem that can arise during the way.
This is my principle of work and life. Nobody can control what I want to do, even haters also cant do that to me, as this passion had already grown the roots inside me! Without passion, life is nothing!
