As some of you will know, I have released my album 'Lately' on my own label 'mamalou'. Named as a tribute to my late mother(who was funnily enough called Lou!), it started a few years back, and I released my album 'Be my guest' on it. At the time, I was probably a bit less concerned with the business side of things, more the symbolism of my creation of something positive through the fog of grief.
A few years later, amidst a very uncertain time dogged with cuts, a lovely recession backdrop and world crises everywhere, I've gotten more businesslike. I don't know if it a reaction to that, but I do believe harsh times sort out the wheat from the chaff.
Or maybe I'm just getting on a bit? :)
Anyway, i'm probably not that businesslike really because no-one buys music any more....or do they? I've sold quite a few albums in the last week or so. I'm sure, that in this world of 7 billion people, there must be quite a number that will be my fans...
I'm just going to have to find them.
I'm looking for you.....
