Goals - New Years Resolutions
Goals and 2006 Resolutions
I'd rather not call them New Years resolutions, i feel like it implies a "get out of your resolution free card". In no particular order, here are some, not all of my resolutions and goals for 2006
- Find a way to top 2004 and 2005 (quite possibly my loftiest goal of all)
- keep building my other company indieTunes.com into a juggernaut of an independent music site
- Produce and write music alot more this year. I do quite a bit of it already, but i have many good things on the horizon that could keep me busy producing and writing for alot of 2006 if i stay focused on it.
- do more print writing for Scratch Magazine and Remix Magazine, and whatever other publications might come along that I feel i can contribute my knowledge and experience to. I've really enjoyed writing for both publications in 2005 (the Remix article i contributed to is coming out soon). I might get the opportunity to write for EQ magazine as well. I hope so. Also, some more internet writing for sites like BeatTalk.com
- Would somebody fly me to Japan to mix a record already!!!!! I'm dying to go there but hoping to find a nice Japanese client to bring me over. Any takers?
- Definitely building my pop/rock credentials is high on the list. Most people see my credits and immediately think "Oh, he's an urban music guy", and I am, but i am so much more. About half my workload is pop and rock. In fact, true story, Kanye West started hiring me to do music for him because he needed someone who could understand and play rock music for a production project of his. Since then, I've done every kind of music under the sun for Kanye, but it started with rock. True story. Also, I've worked with plenty of REALLY big rock names, they are all in the credits, artists and producers as well. You indie rockers out there. I want to mix your record.
- Man do i have some big ideas brewing. I've been pulling them into shape for quite some time now, but 2006 might be the year when i go full guns with a few big new ideas.
- Small Town Sleeper (the band i produce from Ohio) has got some really big things brewing that could really jump off this year. I have worked with this band for a long time and I believe deeply that they are going to be an enormously successful band. You just wait and see. More announcements as things solidify.
- build my team. I have a stellar team of people around me. And as my career progresses I always try to ensure that their careers follow suit. Big things await.
Anyway. I have a few more goals for 2006, but I won't bore you with them just yet. Trust me, if and when they are achieved, you'll know. I'm feeling so good about this year.
