Man oh man...what a year it's been.

On this episode, I uploaded a live workshop I did on Facebook, talking about building your team as a musician.  We read from my favorite music book "All you need to know about the music business" by Donald Passman, covering what each member does, how to find them, and when you need to actually build the team. 

"California is on fire. But this economic blaze will ignite abruptly on January 1st and will affect the California music industry so drastically that it could completely burn it down. As the fifth largest economy in the world and the entertainment hub of the world, this is a big fucking deal. And there’s one man who could put it out single handedly - and that’s Governor Gavin Newsom. “This is an anti-creative economy bill for California. I’ve often wondered what could knock the LA music scene off it’s game. I think we’re looking at it.” - Ned Menoyo, EEM Law What happened? Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez spearheaded a bill, AB5 which was intended to support workers’ rights - namely Uber, Lyft and DoorDash drivers. Rather than making a law targeting specific companies, they basically outlawed all independent contractors with few exceptions. It was signed into law on September 18, 2019 by Governor Newsom. Why haven’t you heard about it? Because it was run through committee so fast that no one really had time to process what was happening. So, no, we didn’t get to contact our representatives before the vote and plead with them not to vote for it or at least give the independent music industry an exemption." - Ari's Take  I break down the new law passed in California titled AB5 which was intended on protecting gig economy workers, but was so broad it accidentally crushed the Music Industry. Apparently the RIAA pissed off the lawmakers, so we will be getting no exemption to this law...let's crack this can of worms open, shall we?

I did an interview with my friends at The Witted Committee, during my roll out for "Undeclared' in June. I thought this would be good to upload to kinda give you guys some insight, on rolling out a project. 

Being broke, and being broken are different things.

Sometimes when we go all in on our dreams, we forget to slow down, and take care of our mental health. The key to this game is longevity...it’s a marathon, not a sprint.

I dropped by the Nerds With Words podcast, in Philadelphia, to talk about music, and my most recent album "UNDECLARED"  Nerds With Words uploads their podcast every week, and deliver some really entertaining content. Check them out and give them a follow on YouTube!

My friend Emma Foster is hands down, one of the strongest people, i've ever met in my life...as she has endured and conquered a great deal of trauma. Her new book "The lies I told myself" documents persevering through a horribly abusive relationship, becoming a single mother quickly after, and the murder of her mom. Tune in as I get more information on her book, her experiences, and how she was able to use her past, to build a better present and future!
