today's digital age artists have access to the tools they need to record and distribute their works be it singles, albums, music videos etc.  This easy access is a double edged sword; the positive being it eliminates the middle man thus allowing artists to bypass gatekeepers, the bad however is that it causes a flood in the market thus over saturating it.   I myself decided a long  ago  to learn other aspects of the creative arts such as songwriting, music production as well as still pictures and video editing.  At this stage in my music career and in life its all about creating platforms and using these platforms to open other doors (this advice was given to me of the owner of TMI Media Network, and its been priceless advice).   I've seen millennials master the ability of using social media to build brands out of their ideas and creativity and I must say it is very impressive.  It takes skill, discipline and dedication something I am slowly learning.....which is a good transition  to discuss "Ghostwryter".

Ghostwryter is my first cousin as a matter fact he is one of three that I know besides myself who are entertainers, the others are Jason Nious (actor and dancer), Quinn/Quincy Dukes (rapper and songwriter) and myself.   I can remember visiting visiting Ghostwryter in Thiboduax, Louisiana and his family visiting us years ago.  From what I remember of Thiboduax  that is was  a small town and there wasn't much to the town, mind you this was back in 1995-1996 so I can imagine a lot has changed since then.  Thibodaux is a small town not to far from New Orleans  unless you are from Louisiana you probably never heard of Thibodaux.   Ghostwryter managed to make a movement in his town as well as create a clothing line based off his phrase "Never Basic".  This along with is thought provoking and personal music he's built a remarkable and growing following.   His Spotify numbers as well as Youtube views are a strong indication that his movement is reaching well beyond Thibodaux and people are paying attention.  In a market where the playing field is somewhat even, it still takes work and skill in order to effectively reach your market, a sentiment Ghostwryter echoe's in this interview.  This industry can bring a lot of time wasters, jealousy, and empty promises things that can deter most however Ghostwryter keeps moving forward.

I hope you find inspiration in this interview.  My day started off on a bad note and I was questioning a lot of my ventures prior to this interview afterwards  "Ghostwryter" motivated me as well as validated a lot of what I was going through.
