I remember contacting Joey in the early days via Quora. And although I was also doing a music statup, he was nothing but really helpful. Sorry it did not turn out too good.

I still believe that music can be cracked i.e made profitable, in other non US markets (like Africa - South Africa) where almost 100% of the artistes are indie and you do not need to deal with strong and evil supplier power.

Best of luck homie and I look forward to seeing what you are up to next.
