I’m back from an amazing and productive trip to Beijing where I got to meet and work with some fantastic new artists as well as the immensely talented Elika Mahony. I blogged all about it on the new Pro Soul site, where I will be posting a lot of my music business entries from now on: www.prosoul.com

Yes, that’s right, Pro Soul Alliance, the new innovative 21st century record label is now live and ready to take on the artists of a new music industry! It’s a very exciting accomplishment, and we’ve put countless hours of research and effort into creating a truly ground breaking solution for artists everywhere.
We’ve assembled an amazing international team that is consistently expanding to provide an incredible range of services and research to assist artists of all genres from all over the world to connect with their audience and monetize their music in new ways that reflect the changes in the way people want to hear music.
There is really nothing like Pro Soul out there for artists and you will undoubtedly be hearing more about it in the near future! Would love to hear your comments and feedback.

It sure has been an exciting year, and things are just getting going! Hard to beleive it’s almost December.

The Obama historical event is nice and all, but if you want to see something REALLY cool, check this out:

60 Minutes – Brain Power

Love the part where they jack in the Matrix like plug into the womans head…
Science fiction is reality in the new world era!

Congratulations Obama, and America, for voting for someone not only with integrity, eloquence and intelligence, but who appears humble, and is driven to improve things! I hoped he would succeed, but I really didn’t know if it would happen given the bizarre nature of American politics… It really seemed like enough people loved him enough to make it happen, when I was in California last week, I only saw Obama signs on peoples lawns…

The problem is one man may not be enough to really change things in a totally corrupt system. The current political system is not only corrupt through it’s individuals, but in the whole system itself.
After studying the Baha’i administrative order, I decided that any political system that puts one man as the head to make major decisions is fatally flawed. Nine people is a good start. Each must be voted into their position purely on their merits and ability to serve, rather than campaign strategies, funding, and even desire to hold a position of such power. Then, each administrative member must hold no power outside the body of nine, there should only be power as a group. That is a pure, progressive system! And it works internationally in over 220 countries of the world in the Baha’i administration. But a system like that will never see the light of day in the political world unless a complete collapse occurs, in my limited opinion.

If anyone can make a change and impact the system, and improve the lives of Americans, I think Obama can. But he has a lot of mess to clean up, and a terrible system to try and work within. I hope for the best and wait with anticipation to see how things go over the next few years.
