## I am doing the work it takes to get us there. 

First of all, I gotta say thank you to all the people that upvoted our intitiative post we really are rocking with you for sure. I've just been hanging out on voice chat in the SMG Discord and just feel honored to be surrounded by so much talent and experience. I'm just soaking it in and learning as much as I can, while at the same time looking for more ways to fund my project.

A Brief of my Music History.

Here are some of the labels I have worked with:

* Koch

* Bizzy Bone
* Lazy Bone
* Styles P
* Loon 
* Max B
* Paster Troy
* Nipsey Hussle
* Dom Kennedy
* BJ The Chicago Kid

Here's some Educational Background:

* Certificate in Sound Engineering
* Music Theory

### I want to put what I've learned to the test!!

I have all this knowledge in my brain. All the countless nights doing research on marketing, branding and just learning from many mistakes I've made; it's time to show people what I know. I feel I have what it takes but actions speak louder than words, so lets get to it. 

### Our first On-Board Artist?
Ive been thinking about who should hit the platform first to set the tone and example for the artists to follow. I want this to show our professionalism and our swag at the same time to show what we're capable of. There are a few artists that come to mind and one of them is Shawn Rude. Me & Rude have been building for over a year now, our latest work is Poppin which is a song featuring SOB x RBE (one of the hottest groups in California).

The song is at 100,000 plays via SoundCloud with no promotion. IMAGINE WHAT A BUDGET CAN DO!

### Generating SP for 619 Times 
One of the many things that I am doing is managing the SMG Trail accounts. [Anyone interested in making some extra SBD for curating some accounts please click here.](https://discord.gg/8SReAc) This is a good opportunity for anyone that is new or just looking for extra ways to earn some extra SBD for curating.  For managing the SMG trail accounts, I will be delegated all the accumulated SP to 619 Times. We need as much SP as we can get!

### We are currently talking to artists and this is the easy but hard part. 

Easy because it's a no brainer; come to steem and make some extra income! Right? Facts, however, the hard part is explaining to them how! Crypto is still fairly new, and my people barely know about Steem, they have an idea, but that's it. They don't realize how valuable this platform can be! 

## This is where I need your help! 

I need you to help me show these guys that this is 10x better than any social media outlet you may have for the simple fact that STEEM PAYS YOU! They have no idea about what DTube is! Or about DSOUND! It's time they find out! Let's show them by showing how we support each other here when it comes to a cause! This is where the education part comes in. 

* Private Steem sessions
* Steem Meetups
* Phone Consultations
* Video Chat
* Community Support

I plan on reaching out to artists I know personally first to gain some traction and to show off what we can do!

Once again, we are raising our SP and funds to help support artists and on-board them onto the Steem Blockchain!! We hope to see all our videographers, our graphic designers, our singers, and dancers, our rappers, our performers, that we need to bring them here! Let us be the example of how communities on Steem just makes Steem more powerful!
