What radio stations in are supporting your music, and how important is radio play in the digital age?

I get internet radio play but it’s important to get radio play to reach out to your fan base and gain more fans

You Tube is a massive medium now for worldwide exposure. Do you have your own channel, and apart from music videos what other footage do you have?

As a recording artist or musician how do you hope to stay earning money in a time where record sales are notoriously bad due to downloading?

If the public feels you point blank you'll sell records but staying on the road and doing shows is very important to stay earning money!

Thanks for your time, before you go is there anything you want to add?

Just look out for ya boy in 2010 with a lot of music coming soon.... keep it trill fam!
