PLEASE CONSIDER THIS ONE THING THAT YOU MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE EVER CONSIDERED BEFORE:
Being a record label owner & musician myself, I often feel responsible for the well-being of my friends and musical acts. I would be lying if i said I wasn't troubled by the current (and future) situation at our hands. This is why I am turning to the fans for any inkling of a miracle. As you may or may not know - the music community in particular has been hit the hardest to the point of bankruptcy as a result of the current pandemic. All we can do is accept the hand we’ve been dealt and attempt to think outside the box as a way to hopefully generate income once again and pull through these hardships. So, we are here today asking you to lend a helping hand. Because musicians can no longer play live shows - they have lost the ability to sell their merchandise to fans in person at gigs. Here-in lies the tragedy: considering that live performances + merchandise often account to around 80% [or more] of a musicians income. This leaves us with no other choice but to try to sell our merchandise online with the hope earn back [any] portions of what’s already been lost. This is where you can help: Any items you can purchase from your favorite artist online will go a long way towards their survival, and well - their gratitude goes without saying. Furthermore, I’d just like to mention one more thing… and this is about the uncertain outlook of a bleak "new standard" way of living for artists in the future. It is certainly worrisome & unnerving to think about what might happen next in regards to their survival. To say I am concerned is an understatement. We all need to lend helping hand if we are fit to do so. We are not beggars. Our pride has not left us [not yet!] it’s merely the state of things and we all need to understand its okay to ask for help however uncomfortable it may be. Perseverance is what got us here today. We must not forget where we came from, where we are, and where we are going. Please just keep this in mind and remember that every little bit helps! Thank you so much.
WITH LOVE & RESPECT, Jacobthewilliam
P.S. BE A GOOD PERSON
