Subject: Freddy's "idea" questions... Author: Heather Olsen (Grateful) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 08:16:00 04/29/08 Tue I don't understand too much about the business side of the music industry. My questions are about long term exposure for Freddy. With Kidd & the fans, he can make an album, market it to Kidd's listeners, and get radio play on Kidd's affiliates. However, as much as I love Kidd, I don't think that is enough to give Freddy the push he needs to become the national, or worldwide performer that he DESERVES to be. Who pays for the plane tickets? Who pays for the agent, lawyer, and other NECESSARY people he needs in his corner to navigate this psycho business? Who underwrites the tour? Who underwrites the merchandise? Do fans put money where there mouth/vote is and help with financing this whole "IDEA"?! I'm willing to, and hope others will too but even if you get a thousand bucks from 200 fans like me you're just scratching the surface. All that being said, I am the biggest Freddy fan around. I have a tender heart, as a mom, for this kid trying to do this right. I am also the biggest Kidd fan around as proven by Kidd's lovely version of "Heather you're all that I want, when the ratings dwindle to one, I'll have Heather" sung a year or so ago to the tune of "Heaven" rmember that? :). I want this to work, but question long term if its win/win for everyone. You guys are the best, and I hope Freddy appreciates Kidd's big heart that started this whole process. I'm guessing Kidd, that Freddy's heart is fairly similiar and that you two can go a long way to change some of the ugly things about this industry if this works out right. Lots of love and prayers being sent your way, Heather [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Author: melanie [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:53:49 04/29/08 Tue You read my mind concerning Freddy's career, exposure, legal issues, etc. I agree completely and I hope Freddy's thought of these things and solutions... I also hope Kidd has thought of these..... A record label's job is to get you out there on a continual basis and support you. Kidd has already expressed once this is completed, he's done. I dont know if that will be enough exposure for Freddy.... [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
