    "What could be more beautiful than Truth and Freedom.." and a good pair of Silicone Boobs :rofl:

    Alternatively you can go to your local Church (satanists/occultists are just Posers anyway),
    and grab the Priest by the Balls while you passionately sing him Stairway to Heaven on his ear,
    but Backwards, and by memory.

    He 's surely gonna Love it,
    and ask you about those generous transracial brown silicone boobs, and what's your preferred Pronoun/side of bed.

    So first things first: We need to hear your music. Can you post links to a couple of what you consider to be your best tracks?

    You've talked a lot about what you're willing to do for a successful career in the music industry, but you've not actually even mentioned which genre(s) you work in, let alone provided examples of your work.

    If you can give us something to listen to, then we can better signpost you towards which companies and/or execs you should be aiming to suck off.

    Looking forward to hearing your stuff!

    A satanist is no catholic and is no occultist .Dont mix stuff up .
    The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth
    by Anton Szandor LaVey


    © 1967

    1. Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
    2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
    3. When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there.
    4. If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
    5. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
    6. Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.
    7. Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
    8. Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
    9. Do not harm little children.
    10. Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
    11. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.
    these are additional to the 10 god rules .

    We got ourselves a Kanye Beiber ready to spit on the heads of all his fans. His moms? Well fuck his moms, she ain't ever buy no pair of Yeezy's.

    Gonna suck major ass when you meet some dude in some hotel lobby making 3 times the money you're making in 6 months with his pointless silly band shit business but you realize you did all that just for a tiny fractions of what he's making while he's bored on Tuesday.

    Gonna have to stick your thumb out your zipper to take a piss but ain't no sunshine when she cums.

    He's fucking willing to suck some dick, donate his dick. Kill his moms, replace Beiber in a fan head spitting contest. But he's not willing to put in the hard work pasting 3 chords together in a catchy manner. He's a funny troll though & I'm entertained. :disco:

    Jeez OP, there are easier ways to have fun. I already offered you to tickle my taint in return to pass out some flyers, damn how much more do you want. I'm about to take my offer back if you keep acting like this.

    Haha, well let's give them a fair chance - they could just be a genuine, real-life misunderstood genius who's down on their luck.

    I believe in you Music Industry-er, now's your chance to blow all the haters away (no, not blow in that sense of the word) by letting your music do the talking.

    Can't wait to hear some tunes; it'll be the easiest way to get all these mean responders to stop giving silly answers, and get you the help, recognition, and fame you deserve!

    Let's hear those tracks!

    i dont think you realise the gravity of the fact that i am serious. if the opportunity presents itself i am going to say: hell. yeah. i want it all i want my music to chart i want several monies i want the finest models. and one thing to note is that my music is good. i can make most EDM genres to a high standard and even non-electronic music. but this is not relevant. why you ask? because anyone in a high position can easily pay off ghost producers and ghost writers. even me a nobody right now i know where to find ghost producers and i know where to pay for spotify streams (dont ask me). what i make is irrelevant because i would rather pay off a team of ghost producers like many "great" producers already do. an artist is just the face of the brand and why they have the most power is because they take credit for what everyone else does. this is a basic law of power.

    all that is relevant to really make it big is knowing the top guys and doing them right. now someone introduce me. how do i become big like diplo or avicii.

    He will blow everyone away with his talent which is covered by the venue when he plays out.

    But afterwards he will willingly chase you down & he will suck every future generation out your dick leaving your ballsack with no choice but to file for California raisin tax return leaving it more sun dried than tomatoes themselves. His treat.

    Don't worry, we're not about to ask you for advice or leads - on music, life or literally anything else.

    I'm gonna speak very slowly and use small words, because I realise you've gotten yourself all worked up and excited, and have stars and dollar signs in your big wide eyes rn.

    You "become a big act like diplo or avicii" by working hard, putting out an impressive back catalogue of high-quality tracks, doing so because you love doing it more than basically anything in life.

    You do this usually for years, before anyone outside of your social circle / hometown has even heard your name, much less cares in any way. You work shitty jobs to support yourself, and sacrifice things like a social life, relationships, and financial gain - again, usually for years.

    You do favours for other local artists, you try to create a scene and a buzz wherever you live. You build connections that could well last most of your professional career.

    Eventually, if you've put in the hard work, opportunities might, with a bit of luck, present themselves. What you should be concentrating on is making sure you're prepared for when that chance comes, because it will likely only ever happen once, maybe twice.

    Because do you know what that record exec is gonna say the second after he's emptied his big wrinkly ballsack into your eager young mouth? "Thanks kid, now let's hear your tunes".

    So, take a couple of deep breaths, calm down a lil bit, and stop trying to kid yourself that there's a shortcut to the top.

    If you're desperate to be 'famous' for 5 mins, go on X-Factor, or [xyz]'s Got Talent.

    If you want to be a 'household name' then you need to do two things:

    1) Work. A lot.

    2) - and I'll say this one reeeeeealllllly slowly:

    By then motherfucker, everyone will be playing some other shit in shopping malls right before black friday.

    But all you're going to have is that one time all those big time producers were in the studio with you doing that collab & ask you to turn down a simple knob that you dunno what it does it just makes things very very way more louder and then you look like you need to move back to Maryland because you don't even know what do rn on facebook live in your tutorial of flex.

    Now you have to stop eating out at Chipotle with your gang gang because they look at you like you're a producer that cannot hang hang.

    is branding important at this stage? do i need to go crazy with hiring a graphics designer to get a logo made etc.

    i keep hearing this same story from everyone (rags to riches). but its clear you are talking about building a fanbase here

    so i just work with anyone in my area who is interested in doing music? even if its outside the genre i want to actually do?

    what might these opportunities look like? so i dont miss them. how do i identify when i need to act.

    and if he doesnt like what he hears? i just sucked him off for nothing right?

    these shows are scams, before contestants go on they have to sign a contract stating that if they win the show they must sign to Simon Cowell's record label Syco which is under Sony. a shitty deal. if you are forced to sign only to one label you obviously cant negotiate shit. you get what you get. whereas if you could choose any label you could just choose the best deal for you.

    Simon Cowell really is a genius and has a great business mind. these shows are just his way of scouting for talent for his record label and do you know the best part? he also gets paid for the shows! this is why he is almost a billionaire.

    do you have an ETA in mind? how many years worth of hard work will it be? am i working hard to be good enough? or just until an opportunity presents itself? also i would post tracks but i am too much of a perfectionist. it (my music) is not at a quality where id be confident to publish it and start to build my brand.

    Haha, you don't say? A couple of friends of mine were actually employed in the house band for a couple of seasons of the UK version of the show, so trust me, I know the ins-and-outs of it pretty well my friend - I've been on-set, and I've read their contracts (which are every bit as shitty as the contestants' ones btw).

    I've also done production / mixing work for The Voice contestants (which, out of all of these types of shows, is probably the one that tries to shaft people the least).

    Also, these shows aren't really 'scams' - technically they deliver exactly what they promise: they give people who want a quick shortcut to 'fame' a chance to experience what it's like to be suddenly thrust into the middle of an incredibly cutthroat industry that they're completely unprepared for, and ill-equipped to handle. Tbh that experience is much more educational / useful in the long run than the couple of not-great singles they'll put out before being dropped.

    Some of the contestants have actually managed to use those experiences to open their eyes a bit, and realise there's no such thing as a free lunch. Something which I think you'd also definitely benefit from figuring out.

    So far, you've addressed exactly... 6 words of my fairly comprehensive reply. Very interested to hear your thoughts on the rest of it - y'know, the bits about hard work, creating your own opportunities rather than waiting for them to be handed to you, that kinda thing...

    Oh yeah, and that little bit at the end where I mentioned it would be a good idea for us to hear some of your incredible talent by - you guessed it - posting some tracks?

    i am still processing your reply sir. it sounds like you'd be the person who would have some good freemason connections who can make things happen for someone like me in the UK. keep in mind like i have repeated several times: i am willing to do anything to make this happen for me.
