Stephanie Fierce: I read "Rolling Stone" on a monthly basis, because I always find it interesting how artist say certain things, when they land their first cover issue. Things that they will regret in the future especially.......
We all feel a certain way about things, but we tend to tweek things a little last minute when we say them. Why do we do that? I think we do that out of perverseness. Which is a sick thing.
It seems to me like you want to play the victim for people to feel sorry for you. Sad thing is that you probably are so caught up in the moment, that you don't realize it. And I'm not talking about you exposing your disorder. I'm talking about your views and playing the victim to build yourself up. But hey....... that invisible marketing strategy works on many people, so I don't blame you in a way.
I always wonder, why artist say that certain artists deserve more attention? If those artist got the same attention and the others didn't, Wouldn't it be the same thing? Think about that..... You wouldn't be saying that, if you make it big. It's a freaking cycle.
You are right. I am commercialized. I am commercialized by the media. Which is different than being commercialized by your record label. I don't ever sit around and be like, what market would like this song? What can I do to make this songs likable by many? Will this song sell? I did that my first album, but that benefited me in the sense, that I was exposed to many people and It allowed me to bite back in a bigger way.
There's probably a lot you don't know about me and my mission to get to where I am today. Maybe that just inspires people. I don't believe they are ignoring others for saying that. I believe that they're just showing gratitude to THEIR favorite music "inspirations". Everyone has their music idols and is not like they are speaking for everyone. Mine are pretty distant from yours, but that's fine.
I've already established myself with a fan base. But as I said, to get there, it wasn't easy. Especially when you have people making fake articles about you and successfully getting them published. I have a list of things people did to me just cause they hated me. Did that break me? No. However, eventually you go through things in life and people grow tire of you. Which is why I believe I will be dying in the airwaves, eventually.
This feeling that I'm experiencing right now, is almost like having a mid life crisis, but with my career. Which is why I feel like I need to break free. We all don't last forever. But we cannot be prisoned by these thoughts. Being in the industry so long,
Once again, I just kind of figured how people work, and why they say the things they say. It's all invisible marketing. Building a persona for yourself. For the sake of being liked by certain people. People who won't care about you in the future. It's like falling for a cult of some sort. My new album talks about breaking away from those people who hold you down, with their bullshit and breaking FREE.
I really hope your not a victim of this, like I was.
On the other hand I really find you interesting and we have a lot in common and I see a lot of ME in you, whether you believe it or not. Good luck with everything you have going on and I only wish success for you.
