Long ago, I started to think about ways to nurture right-leaning artists, who are completely shunned by liberal groupthink, or completely closeted. I haven’t made any inroads on that (yet–although this site I hope will help), but this gentleman is taking action:
This may sound grandiose, but I want to overturn the placeholders and decision makers within the major labels, radio, and licensing. I want to give this back to the people and allow them to decide what they listen to and who they support. I want to bring genuine songs back to pop culture and wake people up through the power of music.
I want to create new platforms for songwriters and artists that move past the traditional routes. Music executives and corporations have monopolized and plagued the market for way too long and I don’t want to follow an orchestra of hate and censorship.
I’ve had to stop listening to some musical artists because I can no longer tolerate the lyrics. If a musician is good enough, I can listen past it or rationalize away idiotic lyrics, but that is rare. Part of the reason I love k-pop so much is mostly it’s not political, and the lyrics are in Korean so I can’t understand them even if I wanted to.
Music is one of those especially important things because it seeps into our unconscious minds so quickly, and spends so much time rattling around in our brains.
Since half (if not more) of the battle is winning hearts–not minds–having that touchstone will be invaluable.
Best of luck to you, Yellow Red Sparks.
