Perfect Your Craft
If you love singing, songwriting, production or the business aspects of entertainment then learn all that you can about your craft. Submerge yourself in your craft; read books, search the web, take in all the knowledge you can find concerning music and the arts. You are in control of your own fate. Your success is contingent upon your preparation and persistence. Ask questions, seek help but never worry or fear…your time will come. Be prepared!
Don’t Wait For Shhhiiiit!
Spend time thinking and meditating about who you are. What is your purpose? Why are you needed? Develop your brand, have a clear picture of how you will appeal to your audience. Develop a trust worthy team and study other successful artists and teams. A major label won’t make you,. Fuck the Labels-Take your fate into your own hands and go hard; test your music and be real with yourself. Everyone will be interested in the artist that is self-motivated. Build a team, devise a strategy, and plant seeds everywhere. Take note of what fans and supporters like best about you and hone in on it. Use the Internet to create a buzz. Create a demand for your material. Distribute music yourself.

Digging deep through record collection notables like Marvin Gaye, Jodeci and Luther Vandross, it’s tough to find a new artist that nestles comfortably among the greats.

Cultivated in Motown, Brandon Hines and his refreshingly natural singing talent are campaigning for legendary status. His smooth, baritone vocals command the attention of the ladies and his relatable lyrics are magnetic for the gentlemen. Hines lulls his sultry love songs in a distinct, raspy tone that sets him apart from others in the current music climate. Not only does he offer a soundtrack and a sexy backdrop, but Brandon Hines provides an experience. And he wants you to make love…Music that is.
