Krumbz 10 Rules to Rockstardom...

1. Get a GOOD manager. 15 - 20 %. No more. (Google, search forums, TAXI, the Wendy Day Coalition, Felicia Booker at DynamicProducer.com etc)

2. Find an investor. Someone to provide you with enough funds to get your "Demo" into the right hands or at least in the ballpark. (Something like marketing it but not quite).

3. DON'T SHOTGUN YOUR DEMO TO VARIOUS RECORD LABELS MAJOR OR INDIE! (Which means if you don't have a contact there either make one or don't send your material without prior notification... cuz it WILL get thrown DIRECTLY into the trashcan!)

4. Once you do find an interest from a label... hire a GOOD Entertainment Lawyer. He will do all the negotiating for you and hopefully won't Effffffff you over THAT bad. :)

5. Hustle. Schmooze. Talk. Search. Market. Be humble but confident in your material when you do get the chance to show it off to someone in some form or another.

6. DON'T SPAM ANYTHING ANYWHERE AT ANYTIME.

7. If you're NOT 100% sure that you have what it takes... find a way to believe in yourself or DON'T get into this business.

8. Get signed and finally become "cool".

9. Sleep with supermodels and hire concubines to clip your toenails.

10. Invite me over for triznain... thats Triznathaniel to you...

* Follow these 10 SIMPLE rules and you will be well on your way to being a famous person. If these 10 rules do NOT result in you getting signed or becoming famous... efff off... it was never in the contract.

** On the other hand if following these 10 rules directly or indirectly leads you to a record deal of any kind then, as stated in Clause 89:B12, Krumbz, from now on referred to as OWNER, will receive any and all album advances along with any privileges including but not limited to: 99.9% of all publishing rights, writing royalties, performing royalties, mechanical royalties and a kiss on the cheek.

Goodluck!

Easy
