Malik Yusef – Pave Settings Entertainment – The Music Industry – Precise

I have been involved in the music industry over a decade, consistently pursuing my dream and most recently understanding what my purpose is as an artist. I am here to uplift the mass and be a reminder of the greatness that all of us possess. I do this through my gift of music.

I am extremely encouraged in recent times because of how the face of the music industry is changing. It allows access to areas that may not have been accessible ten years ago. The advent of blogs and social media has enabled me to provide insight into who I am as an artist and a person to the entire world. I am grateful for that.

This is a different time. It is easier to maneuver through some areas, however other areas remain a mystery. Most times the information needed to gain access to these areas will not be available on-line. Nothing substitutes the relationship.

Last week 5-15-2013 courtesy of Pave Settings Entertainment I took part in a Teleconference called Breaking into the Music Industry Ft Malik Yusef of Good Music.  Malik’s resume is loaded with experience in the industry that is invaluable. His accolades range from Tony Awards to Grammys. The relationships he has fostered are golden.

 

During my time in this industry I have spent A LOT of money for situations that I assumed would help me along my road to success. I have paid to perform at conferences. I have sold tickets for shows. I have spent money for promotions. Sometimes I would benefit. Sometimes I did not benefit. I always chalked it up to paying my dues.

My experiences in terms of the money I have shelled out paying my dues were valuable, however the 2 hours we spent on the phone with Malik during the teleconference was eye opening. There were tips that were given that I moved on right away and garnered immediate results. This teleconference was definitely worth the money and I am recommending it to ALL of my friends and peers in this industry.

Explaining what I learned during the teleconference in this blog would not do it any justice. I am inviting you as my personal guest to take part in the teleconference portion of this event on May 22, 2013. As a result of joining last weeks call I have been given this ability to invite those of you who I know will find value in this conversation.

There will also be a Live Group Session with Malik on the Chicago leg of the tour on June 8th. If you are truly serious about your career in this industry I should see you there. Click The links below.

DON'T GIVE UP!!!

I will be 39 on January 7th. WOW! I feel extremely fortunate to be alive and living life. I have been truly blessed and I thank God for life.

Today has been kinda hard. I feel lonely and unaccomplished. I need to shake this feeling. I'm currently going through a divorce and I find myself in a positon of starting over at the age of 38.

I find myself missing the family unit I was a part of. I tell myself I could have been such a better father and husband. Why did I act the way that I did. I miss seeing my kids everyday. I miss having a wife.

I've been following this dream of being a legitamite hip hop artist for a while now and I can feel the prize right in front of me, but sometimes I feel like my family was sacrificed because of it. I feel like I'm getting to old for this. If I listened to outsiders I would have given up a long time ago

What allows me to stay positive is knowing that God has a plan for me and I have the victory already. Sometimes....sometimes...man.....it gets so hard. So I stay in the word. I keep the affirmations coming, because I am a creator linked directly to the source GOD.

The word is power. This is the reason I am writing this. I was speaking with a friend who posted some extremely personal information about herself online. I mentioned how she was very brave to do that, and how I would be hesitant to open up like that. She said she did it because many people may have experienced what she had and it would help others.

So I am here to say to ALL OF YOU if you feel discouraged, sad, defeated, depresssed that it is only temporary. DON'T GIVE UP!!! DON'T GIVE UP!!! DON'T GIVE UP!!!

Stay Focused, Positive and Productive

A NEW SEASON!!!...Music Update....Life Lesson

Whats up world, it has been a while but I'm BACK. Many people have been asking me how the music is going. To answer the question I am currently working on The Ladies Love Mixtapes mixtape produced by TyeHill of The Pro-Duk-Tio_Nix. My single GO! has been placed on numerous mixtapes and has been generating a great buzz worldwide. Generally the music has been going great. I am extremely appreciative and grateful and expect Great, Marvelous and Amazing things to keep happening.

Evening Sessions has been AWESOME!! Just Flo and Uneq'ka have created a historic event and it truly is a Journey Into Art and Sound. Seriously...if you have not been to The Living Room to experience Evening Sessions you are missing out on a great event, and I am so proud to be a part of this.




After Evening Sessions last Friday...I went to a sunrise service of 63rd St beach with SoChiLiteTimes and The New Life Covenant Church. Being on the beach at 5 in the morning praising God and praying was powerful. Interestingly enough after it was over I felt like I had entered a New Season of Health, Wealth and Prosperity. I felt NEW!

.....Then the next day I get some served with some documents that totally deflated how I was feeling. I spent the entire day trying to fight any negative feelings of sadness, anger and jealousy that was trying to consume me.

One thing I am realizing is that I have to understand that nothing can keep me from my blessing. Nothing and no one will keep me from my family and in all truth ONLY GOD runs this and no matter what I Know THE BEST is on the horizon.

When I first started this blog...my focus was on creating an atmosphere that would maximize the blessings that would feed my spirit and allow me to be a true co-creator. I got away from that, and I recognize the difference. I must always remember that we have control over our experience. The words we choose and remembering that the past is in the past and that NOW is important time...because we create NOW!!

I can't front, I could feel myself feeling depressed and wanting an opportunity to change what I messed up. The frustration builds knowing that we cant go back and change anything. This is why NOW is so important.The action we take NOW affect our lives.

I find myself thinking about being in love and I miss that feeling. I miss the feeling of knowing someone cares about me and has my back, or the butterflies whenever I am around that person,knowing that we will build something AWESOME together. I want that feeling back....the only way it can happen is to Love myself first NOW!

I know I have been all over the place with this blog, but I really want those of you who take the time to read this blog to know that you are not alone. We all have these feelings of doubt and despair. However...we don't have to and should not live in that space.

Be grateful...be appreciative know that THE BEST IS HERE NOW! Adjust your thinking because you can...feed yourself with positive words..surround yourself with those who really care about you. KNOW that you have the POWER to change your circumstance.


It is A NEW SEASON!!! Our GREATNESS is realized NOW!!!

Stay Focused, Positive and Productive.

08 Was Great but 09 Is Mine

I'm so happy to be alive! Its getting close to a New Year and I anticipate more greatness in 2009 than I ever have for any other year. I have a few shows lined up already and I have been blessed to create a decent buzz when it comes to the album "It's On Me"...however more can and will be done. The Official release will be in the first quarter and it will be amazing.

I've met some wonderful individuals in 08. I've been blessed to meet the type of people who believe is following their dreams and making a change and I plan on continuing that trend.

I want to say Thank You to all of you who have provided any type of assistance along my journey. We are not done yet there is so much more to do.

I look forward to 2009 with much excitement. It really is on me and it's time to get it done.

Power Thoughts

I was thinking about doing this blog thing the way everybody else does...you know...post some cool videos and music...be "in the know"...but I decided against that. I'm approaching this from a real place.

Recently I have been experiencing some growth with respect to who I am and what it means to be a thirty something year old brother with goals and aspirations. I've picked up a few books .." A New Earth"by Ekhart Tolle...The Power Of Now by Ekhart Tolle...Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill..."The Wisdom of Florence Scovel Shinn by Florence Scovel Schinn and I just finished reading "Alter Your Life" by Emmet Fox.

All of this reading was sparked by my introduction to "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne. I also saw Abraham Speaks by Ester Hicks...you gotta be ready for that one. At any rate...here is where I am with this...I know and believe that we are connected to the source..that source being God. Our words construct our reality and the only real important moment in our lives is now. Mixing feelings with our faith fulfills our desires. We have the power to do anything we want and truly the only thing that can hinder you is you.

My eyes open when I realize how much accountability we truly have. Where we are now is based on the condition of our consciousness now.

My desire was to kick it off like this. Keep those words Positive and Uplifiting. Control those emotions. Your world will flourish because of it.

Leave me some thoughts.
