Oh as a final note, there was this question and answer session with Sony and his manager, I asked the usual "what do you use more hardware or software and whats your favorite tool of either?" as is illmuzik fashion to ask.
He uses FL of course, everyone seems to.I should just say fuck it and make the switch.
Funny tho that he called hardware old school and professed to know nothing about it. lol
The second thing I asked was VERY this forum though.
I waited till he stepped up to me in a spare moment gave dap, and I asked him "Dude I am not the one who can do it, but what are you doing as far as making sure the money you are making now is invested for long term returns? I mean, as you know music money is THE most unreliable money,"
(at this point another small crowd stated to form and started listeing and I felt uncomfortable so I went ahead and finished with)
"so I dont know what your doing with it, but just buying cars and jewels and houses is simply pissing it away, all that instantly looses all its value, you want to make sure that you are still getting big returns 20 years from now when music money isnt there at all, so you may want to look into some sort of financial management".
Well I think I could have made a friend for life right there and then, he asked me if thats something I did ,I dont and Im honest so I said no but that he ought to find someone if he wanted to hold onto it.
lolSo he asked me if I knew anyone. NOW the truth is I prolly do but not off the top of my head I said well if I can get some contact info Ill forward you what I can find out.
At this point there were too many other people literally in our faces, so I said look try and get me some contact info , but dont forget what I said. lol
Later he found me and said he wouldnt forget it , they bounced and we were interviewing everybody but I beleive (and sincerely hope) that I may have helped plant that seed that he will hopefully do something smart with whatever he gets.
Hes a cool dude.
