Getting ready for a performance…*sigh* is the most exciting and nerve shaking process in entertainment. This is all assuming that we want the show to go off without a hitch, (will smith is more than welcome to come though #movie reference.) The process is simple but there are many details that get over looked I know this from working with other artist. So let us go over some of the basic steps that get over looked when getting ready for a performance.

1. Self-promoting. When striving to get people to come to a show Eighth Republic (8R) is performing we tend to market at minimum a month and half in advance. Reason being when asking last minute there time might be occupied, the funds might not be there, or they could feel as if you’re asking last minute because there not important. I find when asking earlier you can receive the payment and hold the tickets until the week of the show, fans tend to make a day out of your show they get there hair done, go shopping, go out to eat, come to your performance then hit an after party. Lastly it’s professional, bigger company’s promote there artist shows months in advance and if we cannot give the courtesy to our fans by informing them in advance how can we expect a great turnout? How can we expect to compete with bigger companies in the future?

Year Of the Republic

We are working on our first mix tape Year of the Republic, everyone is focused and excited with great reason seeing how this mix tape is our introduction to the world as a brand…but there is something that we are all feeling that were not saying. I don’t believe it to be doubt but a concern. If you ask me personally anyone who loves something they do whether it’s acting, painting, creating and so on cares about the feedback they will receive. We all want this mix tape to be loved by others as much as we loved creating it. We have spent months practicing song writing, public speaking, performing, and stage presence. But being vulnerable letting people see the “naked” you is a life time learning process that I’m not sure we as humans can ever learn to be comfortable with. But that is what we are working to achieve we want to deliver the real us. No fronts, no lies, just what Eighth Republic is all about.
