The Music Modernization Act, legislation that contains broad reforms of U.S. music copyright and roy-alty payments, has been signed into law by President Donald Trump.
So ... here is an upside to the music industry. It is most definitely progress. The Music Modernization Act has now been signed into law. This is the one thing Donald Trump has done so far where I can honestly say gains him tiniest bit of my respect (and I mean tiniest). This is big news people. The Music Modernization Act makes it so that people in the music industry not only get paid but they will get paid fairly. Especially in the digital age that surrounds us now.
We finished watching the Thirty Seconds To Mars docu-film about how they got screwed by their label and their whole lawsuit fiasco. It is just nice to see some change happening within the industry. This is the whole reason why I am working towards getting my degree in entertainment management with an audio production concentration.
Those of you that know me know how passionate I am about music, how music has changed my life and helped me through some tough times. I want to work in the music industry as a producer, an audio engineer. I want to be the person that helps produce the music that may save someone’s life one day, the music that makes a difference in the world, something meaningful and powerful. I want to make that difference. I want what I do to matter. I want to play a part in helping change the industry for the better. I know all this sounds out-of-this-world ambitious but it is the truth. I am an ambitious person. I always have been and will continue to be. It is my passion for music that drives me and fuels my fire. Never be afraid to be ambitious. It is one of the best qualities a person can have. As a mother, I can only hope that one day my daughter, Cecilia, will have that same ambition and care about something so much to want to make it better.
So the take away from this ...
If you have a goal in life, a dream career or future for yourself or your family, go pursue it (as long as whatever that is, it is legal). Don’t be afraid to go after what you want. Don’t give up. Don’t be afraid of ambition. If something is unfair, take action. Change can happen. Anyone can make a difference in the world.
Until next time my dears ...
Blessed Be.
