Hello all!

I’ve been soul searching quite a bit this past year and I’ve decided to really give an effort to this production company and also to myself as an artist. I only told a select few people this, but my original plan was to not only run Sucker Free Productions, but also run seven different music projects that are each of a different genre. Some genres were more suited to me than others. I could tell simply because I wrote more music for them. However, I fear that having my music fit into a specific mold would stifle creativity. Also, running seven different music projects at once is an insane amount of work and I should’ve realized that I was over extending myself.

Recently, I went to an Audio Engineering Society convention and attended a panel called “How to Make It as a Freelancer” that was hosted by some engineers with some serious credits to their names. One of the key pieces of advice that I picked up was that I needed to constantly reinvent myself. I should not have hubris because I was unable to go above and beyond a conventional idea of success anyway. So I need to come up with a new plan and stick with it.

My new idea is to run this production company as I have been doing but with much more diligence and professionalism. Also, have one sole music project that will be the sum of my creativity. My stage name will be Grant Conrad and I’ll perform whatever kind of style that I want. One song might be a totally brutal metal song, while the next is an Italian aria. I’m really looking forward to putting in more work into this blog and into this business and really forming a movement with all of you!
