The Quest Chronicles: Independent Artists

#GetSOM via @TQuestGLM

 THE QUEST CHRONICLES: INDEPENDENT ARTISTS I’ve been working in the music entertainment industry for almost 20 years and I’ve experienced many things. I’ve been a radio personality for about 10 years and I have had the chance to interview many artists from independent to mainstream amongst other incredible people. With the climate of music changing especially in our culture; I started to become a little nervous about the direction music is heading. I’m ok with music evolving but like many of my peers; we’re just bored with all the music sounding exactly the same. 


In my field I come to find out that it’s actually not. There’s a lot of independent music that shows diversity and they’re producing the content many of us have been waiting to hear for a long time. It’s up to us to stop relying on only syndicated radio or mainstream television to dictate the music we should only be listening to. There’s so many digital and independent stations playing the music you desire such as my station Gotta Love Me Radio. We play a variety  to cater to a diverse audience. 


Independent artists deserve a chance just like mainstream artists. They work so hard to be heard and sometimes the professional, talented & unique artists get lost in the shuffle and we have to stop that. Their music is worth listening to and I encourage you all to take time to hear them as well. 


To all the independent artists out here, continue following your dreams and if you’re creating music that people actually want to hear; reach out to my team so we can help shine a light on it. We need you just as much as you need us. Let’s bring diversity back to the music so we all can be happy.

Federal prosecutors have rested their case against R. KELLY following 19 days of allegations of sexual abuse and testimony from more than 40 witnesses about how the singer allegedly controlled the minute details of his accusers’ everyday lives. According to YAHOO! NEWS, since opening statements on AUGUST 18th, prosecutors have presented accusers, former employees and other witnesses who testified in BROOKLYN’s federal courthouse about how KELLY controlled the lives of his young “girlfriends,” who often lived with him.

The accusers, whose experiences with KELLY spanned the course of about 25 years until his JULY 2019 arrest, described how the singer pressured them into sex. One woman said KELLY sexually assaulted her just moments after meeting her backstage after a concert. Others described being “trained” in sex and living with the singer over the course of several years. KELLY also gave several of them herpes, they testified, without disclosing that he had the incurable disease.

KELLY has pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him. His defense attorneys are expected to begin presenting their own witnesses for about two days, before each team of lawyers presents their closing arguments. 

As the trial heads toward its conclusion, the singer faces legal risk elsewhere. Federal and state-level prosecutors in CHICAGO each have pending cases against KELLY involving similar allegations, as does a district attorney’s office in MINNESOTA.
