@Quiet Entertainer – Why not make that transition now? Use video to paint your music. Doesn’t have to be elaborate, just has to be video. Look at screencasts, slideshows, etc to get started and get ideas. Look to local film schools and put ads on Craigslist for filmmakers.

Could be something to add to your music products. CD + DVD, grab emails in exchange for videos, etc.

I’ve always wanted to do acting as well. Before I got into music, I did lots of acting in my hometown. I’ve been hoping that at some point after I’m done with music; I can make a smooth transition into doing that as a career.

Hey Dexter – thanks for sharing. I like the comparison to a serial entrepreneur. I think the best musicians have that mentality – like they are always trying to go bigger and find more ways to expand upon the audience they have created.

Keep dreaming big man.

I was blessed with the innate ability to dream big. My music career is a launch pad for film, games, fashion, nightclubs, and any lucrative business ventures I can dream up. I’m an entrepreneur that’ll probably end up being a serial entrepreneur someday. I’m passionate about music, psychology, and marketing–which is a super-combo of interests that helps me succeed at what I do.

I can do so many things with my music and take it beyond just selling records. I want to be a film composer, a music supervisor for film/TV/games, a movie producer and screenwriter, an actor, a sonic branding professional, and a music marketing professor (among other things).

There’s so much that I want to try out and experiment with. I’m just grateful that I have music as an entry-point into other industries. Examples like Will Smith, 50 Cent, Mos Def, and Common are inspiring success stories for an MC/producer like me that pretty much envisions myself as a future media 2.0 entertainment mogul.

Peace+Love+Music
